I am thinking to buy Eat This Frog. Is it a long read with tons of anecdotal stories? Or more like a straight forward book?

The key insight is this: Find out the most important use of your time at each moment, or at least every day, and work on it until completion.

There are other techniques for time management too like the 80/20 rule being applied to all your lists, determing "what one goal/task, if I achieved/completed it, would have the greatest positive impact on my life?" and working on that, a goal setting/achieving method, a prioritizing method for lists, determining your key result areas, what exactly you get paid for, what skills you need to increase your income, etc, etc.

I've done Tony Robbin's RPM method, David Allen's GTD method, and the Meta Productivity method, and my own versions of to do lists, implemented other's recommendations, and I've gotta say that Eat That Frog trumps them all.

It comes highly recommended from me. (less)
