Summary & Analysis of Eat That Frog! By Brian Tracy

How often do you find yourself procrastinating on what you know you should do? Is there an effective strategy for overcoming procrastination?

Imagine if, at the start of your day, you were faced with a really unpleasant task. One that you would prefer to avoid at all costs. If you tackle it first, the rest of the day will seem easier by comparison. That's the idea behind the “eating the frog” metaphor: tackle the hardest thing as soon as possible.

This approach proposes prioritizing what will have the most impact on your life, even if it's not always the most pleasant or comfortable. The tasks you avoid are often the ones that can bring you closest to your goals.

The method shares 21 practical strategies to help you identify those “frogs,” plan clearly and take immediate action. It is a useful guide to improve your productivity, make better decisions and regain control of your time.
