    Eat That Frog! 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time

    Brian Tracy · 2001

    There just isn't enough time for everything on our to-do list—and there never will be. Successful people don't try to do everything. They learn to focus on the most important tasks and make sure those get done. They eat their frogs. There's an old saying that if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you're done with the worst thing you'll have to do all day. For Tracy, eating a frog is a metaphor for tackling your most challenging task—but also the one that can have the greatest positive impact on your life. Eat That Frog! — Snapshots shows you how to organize each day so you can zero in on these critical tasks and accomplish them efficiently and effectively.

      From the book Eat That Frog! - 21 Great Ways To Stop Procrastinating And Get More Done in Less Time: Doing something is better than doing nothing. Make a list of five tasks. Order the tasks by strict priority. Work your way through the list, skipping as you get stuck. If your list has more than five items then you're spending too long making lists.
