A self-development book that seems like a long PowerPoint presentation, with tons of quotes from people I never heard of. So I'm supposed to be inspired and motivated by a certain Jonathan Smerkfeese who says "Procrastination. Such a bad, bad thing"?
What I learned from this book, however, is how to write a self-development book. Let me share these ten easy steps with you:
Step number one: Pick a title. Nothing revolutionary. Any mind-numbing sequence of words can turn into a title. The Princess in the Dungeon? Sure! This could be a book about spotting pedophiles.
Step number two: Start with an introduction filled with over-promises. Don't worry about under-delivering; it's the reader's responsibility to change, yours is to get them all psyched up about needing that change.
Step number three: Come up with chapter titles, and dig for random quotes to use at the beginning of each chapter.
Step number four: Write small paragraphs of supposedly motivating and inspiring bunkum. Write as many paragraphs as possible. Don't be shy, repeat the same point over and over again until you bring it home, then take it out again, then back home again.
Step number five: Do not forget to throw in as many general statements as possible. "A lot of Americans think... All successful people say... Everyone knows that..." The fountain of credibility. This is it. Drink from it and quench everyone's thirst.
Step number six: Include a step-by-step guide to something. Anything. The "step-by-step" part is irrelevant; the order doesn't matter.
Step number seven: Come up with an acronym, then design a method around it. Like, from the top of my head, the S.N.A.C.K. method. What is the mighty S.N.A.C.K. method you ask? I'm glad you got that curiosity gene in you! S.N.A.C.K. stands for Stare Nonchalantly At Cute Kid. Learn to identify people with the S.N.A.C.K. behavior, and you got yourself a certificate, delivered personally from me, on how to spot pedophiles.
Step number eight: Tell people what to do. Tell the reader to close one eye, lift an arm 67° in the air, lean on the fridge, and then proceed to remember all the people they saw in the mall that day, for potential pedophiles.
Step number nine: Go crazy with formatting. Bold, underline and italicize. As Rose Taxtbeest says, "When you italicize words, you actually put pretty dresses on them."
Step number ten: At the end of each chapter, no matter how short and irrelevant, present the reader with a quick summary. Then, add borders to that block of text. Whatever you said there has now become official and formal.
That's it. If you can write/type, you can be an author. There is a readership out there for every kind of hokum.

I finished this book a couple of days ago..........and I wanted to put a review in right away to get it in at the top of the week, but there was the Super bowl, then Monday I had to make dog food (you did read that correctly), last night Justified was on.....and that needs your full attention. This morning I had class for my Ballot Judge position for the primary March 6 (that promises to be a clusterf#¥k my friends). Now I'm stuck at work, and have to type this out on my IPad which is not the fastest way to type, so that's annoying. Customers keep coming up, wanting to buy something.....the nerve.
Like majority of the human race, I have some procrastination issues,. So I thought I'd pickup the classic, but unfortunately named, Eat That Frog for some guidance. This book is full of great common sense tools to get yourself to do what you'd rather not do. Basically what you need to do is make lists. On the top of that list you put the thing you would rather avoid doing the most. This would be your "Frog". Then do that thing first, or eat that frog......then work your way down that list from the next slightly smaller, less ugly frog, down to prime rib, Oreos, tacos and cherry pie at the end of the list, if you could ever get there.
This book is geared toward the work environment, specificity office type work, which is not what I do. I draw people for a living (from life), so when the author wrote about picking out the most difficult thing you would all day to do first, I imagined picking out the screaming two year old from the crowd first, followed by the stumbleing drunk......ect.
So, I do plan to eat some frogs right after I beat a few people on Words With Friends.

All the methods mentioned in this book can't be applied in everyone's life. Some methods mentioned by the author were helpful in my case. So please try to find out which one out of the 21 points is more practical in your case before trying to implement them in your life. If you can judiciously use this book by keeping all the points mentioned above in the back of your mind, this book might become beneficial for you.

13. Identify your key constraints to increase productivity by decreasing the troubles you will have to face.

But I must admit that some other points mentioned above are beneficial and has the power to change your life in the best possible manner.

I read this book and I think its not bad. It is full of useful tools and tips to get you to stop procrastinating. But there are better books out there. The best book I've read on this topic is the Procrastination Elimination Method by John Isaac. It's not really famous.. its like a hidden gem. It addresses the core experiences and perceptions that cause procrastination to begin with.
I give 3 stars to Eat That Frog because the author seems to have put in a lot of effort.

Nothing revolutionary, but a good (and quick) recap of the things we need to do to get stuff done.
The key premise is that if we ate a live frog first thing in the morning, everything else would be easy compared to that. It's a good reminder to concentrate on the most important task instead of getting mired down in the smaller, unimportant ones.
The author gives 21 steps to getting things done:
01. Set the table (spend some time writing out your goals for year, month and week). Prioritize those and concentrate on the most important ones.
02. Plan your day in advance (on paper).
03. 80/20 rule: 20% of your work will constitue 80% of your acheivements. Concentrate on that 20%.
04. Consider the consequences of what you choose to work on.
05. ABCDE method. Organize your tasks by value (a,b,c...) and priority (1,2,3...).
06. Focus on key result areas.
07. Obey the law of forced efficiency.
08. Prepare thoroughly. The 6Ps: Proper Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance. If you're Rob Lowe you can use the 7Ps ;p.
09. Do your homework! If you're not improving, you're getting worse.
10. Leverage your talents.
11. Identify your key constraints.
12. Take it one barrel at a time (baby steps).
13. Put pressure on yourself.
14. Maximize personal powers. Select the key times of the day when you are most productive and work on your tasks at those times.
15. Motivate yourself (be your own cheerleader).
16. Practice creative procrastination. You're not going to be able to get everything done so put off the less important tasks.
17. Do the most difficult task first (eat that frog).
18. Slice and dice your tasks. Break your tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks.
19. Create large blocks of time to get your work done.
20. Develop a sense of urgency.
21. Single-handle every task.

The whole book boils down to "do the hardest task first" and "make checklists." Not exactly rocket science, but I gotta admit I'm finding myself using the catchy phrase "Eat That Frog!" as a reminder to stop putting off daunting tasks. And I love checklists. Since I'm currently in a moment of high stress time management, it's exactly what I needed to hear. To really save time, listen to the audio version. It's unabridged and only 2.5 hours.

“لاتفرحوا يا بناتي وأبنائي بقراءة الكتب السهلة؛ لأن المرء حين يقرأ لا يفهم إلا ما يعرف،
فإذا فهمتم ما تقرأونه فهذا يعني أنكم تعرفونه ويكون دور الكتاب هو التذكير ليس أكثر”
يُذكرني عنوان الكتاب بالمقولة السابقة لـ دكتور عبد الكريم بكار :
والعنوان أيضًا "ابدأ بالأهم ولو كان صعبًا" هو أفصح ما في الكتاب؛
وما احتواه من أفكار تدور حوله؛
وكلها تحاول اقناعنا بـ
التركيز على الأهم؛ فـ حياتنا محدودة،
وهي أقصر من أن نبعثرها بين الأهم وذاك غيرالجدير بأولوية أوقاتنا،
ثمّ البدء فورًا بـ تنفيذ ما قررنا أهميته،
وبالطبع نؤديه بـ اتقان.

The dictionary meaning of the word procrastination is “the action of delaying or postponing something”. However, the real meaning is “the creative reason you are showcasing, for not finishing something”. The quick response from our mind is that if procrastinating is bad, how can we overcome it. That’s where this quick read “Eat that Frog” by Brian Tracy helps.
The name of the book is also one of the main concepts taught and its name is derived from a quote from Mark Twain, who famously said:
"Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day."
The idea is that if you finish a task that you're inclined to procrastinate on each morning, you can go about your day knowing you've completed it, and the rest of your day will be easy in comparison.
There are 21 chapters and each chapter introduces a different idea, tip, or technique that will help you overcome procrastination and get more things done.
3 things I liked:
1. The principle of handling the biggest and most difficult task first is solid and in most scenarios, I cannot argue with the logic of doing so.
2. The book does not provide a complete, step-by-step strategy, but if you are new to time management and productivity, “Eat That Frog!” book is a great introduction, as it provides the reader with some food for thought and a good amount of ideas to try if you’re serious about being more productive daily.
3. Lays out actionable tasks at the end of each chapter that you can use to help become more organized and procrastinate less.

Brian Tracy gives simple and easily acted-upon suggestions for stream lining and maximizing your productivity. The title itself, Eat That Frog!, refers to completing the biggest, ugliest task you may have on your plate on any given day. If you do whatever that is first (the frog), in the morning when you're at your most energetic and before anything else distracts you, then at least you can say you got something done today. Most everything else will seem almost easy by comparison... at least, that's the theory.
At first, I thought all of the ideas in this book sounded almost too simple. But as the short audiobook continued, it became more clear just why Tracy is considered one of the leaders in his field of expertise.
Taken altogether, this book gives someone the tools to turn their life around (if they're in a bad place) or take them to the next level, if they're already on their way. It's not just about learning tools to boost your efficiency, it's also about discovering what you do best and then prioritizing doing THAT to the best of your ability.
The most intriguing idea in here, to me, was "practice creative procrastination". As we couldn't possibly get everything done that we ever have to do in one day, by doing the things that MUST get done, you can procrastinate on the things that won't sink the ship if they're left undone. You're doing things, yet not doing things and feeding the inner procrastinator. It's like having your cake and eating it too.
I'm not a big procrastinator. What I am is a collector of ideas and methods. I'm always open to improving myself or the way that I do things. In fact, I can be too gung-ho when it comes to implementing some of the ideas I read in self-help books. For example, a couple years ago I changed my life through "the magic of tidying up" and was so successful at removing the knick-knacks littering the house that my husband thought I was moving out.
But seriously, I can take things to the extreme. So, I'm encouraged that this book mainly consists of writing lists, scheduling and prioritizing tasks. That shouldn't freak out the hubby.
And I do find myself doing other, less important things when a big, fat frog of a chore is staring me in the face. At least now, I'm aware of what I'm doing and knowledge is the first step on the road to change.

سیزده-چهارده سال پیش تابستون وقتی کنکور کارشناسی رو دادم, خوشحال و رها و بالبال زنان به یه کتابفروشی جدید نزدیک خونمون سر زدم و درحالیکه به این فکر میکردم که امسال تابستون میخوام چیزای جدید یاد بگیرم که به درد دوران دانشگاه بخوره(فکر میکردم دارم وارد دوره بزرگسالی میشم), رو به پسر جوان چندشی (چون هر کتابی برمیداشتم میگفت چه جالب که سلیقه اونم همینه! :پوکرفیس :عوق) که اونجا بود گفتم رمان نمیخوام. میخوام چیز یاد بگیرم
ـ مثلا چی؟
+ نمیدونم. چیزای خوب
و چند تا از این کتابایی که امروز اسم زرد روشون میذارم جلوم ردیف کرد و من این رو انتخاب کردم چون از هر نوع قورباغه متنفر بوده و هستم و گفتم به یه نوعش لااقل غلبه کنم. و این بار نوعش از نوع بزرگترین و سخت ترین کار در هر روز از زندگی بود.
پرانتز باز
لازم به ذکره که چند تا کتاب کاترین پاندر هم بهم معرفی کرد که خریده بودم و لعنت خدایان بهش :| پرانتز بسته
باید طبق گفته کتاب سعی میکردم هر روز برنامهریزی و اولیت بندی داشته باشم و هرجوری هست سخت ترین و زشت ترین و چندش ترین و بزرگترین قورباغه ی اون روز رو قورت بدم که برای بقیه روز رها باشم از سنگینی اون وزنه.
برای من۱۷-۱۸ ساله ای که به این مهارت ها آشنایی نداشتم و نهایت مهارتم پر کردن ساعات درس خوندن دفتر برنامهریزی قلمچی بود, این کتاب فوق العاده بود اون روزا. به لطف این کتاب من تونستم با روند فکری آدمای موفق آشنا بشم و الگو بگیرم.
امروز نزدیک ۱۳ ساله که من تقریبا برای هر سال و ماه و هفته و روزم برنامه دارم و اگر هم که نرسم تمام کارای از پیش تعیین شده رو انجام بدم, حتما بزرگترین و زشت ترین قورباغه روزمو در اکثر مواقع قورت میدم که تا آخر روز توی گلوم نمونه و خفهم نکنه.
معتقدم هرکتابی زمانی داره
اگه من اون زمان این کتابو نمیخوندم, با توجه به مسیر کلی زندگیم تا امروز, فکر میکنم دیر یا زود با آزمون و خطا بالاخره با این نوع برنامه ریزی آشنا میشدم به هر حال و باز هم همین آدم همیشه-برنامه-بریز امروز بودم تقریبا. اما در زمان مناسب اینو خوندم و خب کلی در زمان صرفه جویی شد برام چون معتقدم واقعا لازم نیست صددرصد چیزها رو خود آدم تجربه کنه و گاهی بهتره از تجربههای دیگران استفاده کنه و سریعتر راهش رو هموار کنه. اصلا امروز ما کانسپت منتور رو واسه همین داریم. شاید از نظر بعضیا این نوعی از تنبلی و راحت به مقصد رسیدن باشه ولی من اسم اینو هوشمندی و صرفهجویی در وقت میذارم که در موارد مختلف برای من نتیجه داده
سرعت زندگی بالا و بالاتر میره و ما باید یاد بگیریم باهاش هماهنگ باشیم
پس اگه امروز به این کتاب حس بدی ندارم و به جای یک ستاره بهش دو میدم چون دقیقا وقتی خوندم که درستترین زمان برای من واسه یادگیری همچین مهارتی بود
اگه امروز اولین بار بود که میخوندمش فک میکنم همون واکنشی رو نشون میدادم که امروز به کتابای دیگه تریسی و افرادی مثل اون نشون میدم "نه بابا غیب میگیا! اینو که ننه بزرگ منم میدونه!(میدونه آیا؟)" خب بله میتونست امروز غیب بگه چون من اینو در مسیرم آلردی خودم یاد گرفته بودم مثلا.
اما امروز به این فکر میکنم که همین الان یه آدم شاید سی-چهل ساله هم مثلا هنوز به هر دلیلی یاد نگرفته زندگیشو ارگنایز کنه و اولویت های روزشو مشخص کنه. خب به نظر من در واکنش اول: وا مصیبتا! اما دوباره به خودم یادآوری میکنم که شاید اون آدم مثل من این شانس رو به هر دلیلی نداشته در گذشته. اما میتونه بازم یاد بگیره و بعد از این برنامهریزی داشته باشه. خیلی بهتر از اینه که تا ۹۰ سالگی سردرگم بمونه
پ.ن. دارم تمرین میکنم که به اینجور کتابها با دید متعادلی نگاه کنم
که البته اصلا شامل اون کتابای شارلاتانی چهار اثر و راز و یه-گوشه-بشین-جمله-مثبت-بگو-جادو-میشه و اینجور چیزا نمیشه این موضوع. اونا از هر نظری به درد نخورن چون به هیچ وجه باعث پروداکتیویتی نمیشن و نه حتا باعث شناخت آدم از خودش.
حرف الان از یادگیری مهارتهاست.
فقط تنها نکته ای که باید حواسمونو خیلی جمع کنیم اینه که در دام خوندن این کتابا به خاطر اینکه صرفا حس خوبی بهمون میده نیفتیم.
بخونیم و عمل کنیم.
و انتظار معجزه و نتیجه سریع هم نداشته باشیم.
هر مهارت مثل یه دونه ست که میکاریم و باید طولانی و با دقت و با حوصله بهش رسیدگی کنیم تا نتیجه بده
وگرنه روزی در ۹۰ سالگی به خودمون میایم و میبینیم با ۱۸ سالگی مون هیچ فرقی نکردیم
و اون موقع دیگه این یه مصیبت واقعیه چون وقتمون تمومه و ما با حالی بدتر از همیشه باید دنیا رو ترک کنیم

چکیده من از کل کتاب :

برای هر روزتان از روز قبل با نوشتن یک لیست، برنامه ریزی کنید
اولویت و زمانبندی کنید و مهمترین کارها را اول انجام دهید
خودتان را تحت فشار قرار دهید
به جای فکر کردن ، عمل کنید

I gritted my teeth through this whole book. Having just re-read the exceptional Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, by David Allen, this book felt poorly-written, poorly-organized, and poorly conceived. The author is brutal and his suggestions mostly make me want to run the other way. Get up early. Stay up late. Nose to the grindstone. Work work work work work work work. The most successful people work work work work work work work. He offers billions of made-up statistics (citing no sources) for what separates the productive people from the unproductive people. Ugh.
But, I kept reading because, (A) the book is very short, and (B) I got a couple of useful ideas from it. I would give the book one and a half stars, if I could, because the two ideas I got from the book that were useful were, actually, very useful:
Eat that frog: Do (or begin) the hardest thing you have to do or the thing you are the most inclined to procrastinate about first and then everything else you have to do will feel easier by comparison.
80/20: There are many things on your to-do list, but about 20% of them will have more of an impact on your life than the other 80%. Those are the ones you are most likely to procrastinate on, because they are the things that have the most weight to them, but they are not necessarily any more time-consuming than the rest of the tasks you have to do which will have less of a positive impact on your life. Aim to do more of the tasks in the 20% and de-prioritize the other 80% of the tasks.
Now that you've read my summary of the best points in the book, you don't have to read the book, yourself. Save yourself the trouble. Read The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play, instead. It's much better. But even that's not as good as Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity. Nobody does it like David Allen.

This is a great book, and to tell you the truth, I’ve got frogs jumping all over my desk and they are the mean and ugly kind. I know the rules, I know the techniques and I’ll happily return to them as soon as I finish reading all my GR Friends’ reviews, and the stack of books on my computer, tablets, and telephones – and oh, I really want to tackle that closet, and try some new recipes, oh, oh, and I’d like to go out for half an hour to see what’s new at the supermarket, the deck could really use a scrub, I haven’t taken my walk yet today, and I absolutely have to update and reload my Xiaomi box with the latest apps for movies and TV programs that I will never watch. That list on my desk grows longer and longer, as I add more and more things that I
really
want to prioritize.
What’s a person to do? I love all my bad habits and vices. Let’s face it, the more interests and opportunities for immediate gratification available, the less likely I’ll be willing to squander all those delectable endorphins on eating frogs!
When the frogs are threatening to eat me, that is when I step up to the plate and get the jobs done.
Seriously though, if you haven’t figured out these methods on your own, or if you need to be reminded how great you’ll feel if you can sleep all night without worrying about all the work piling up on your desk, you really should read Tracey’s book.

"There is never enough time to do everything you have to do. You are literally swamped with work and personal responsibilities, projects, stacks of magazines to read....But the fact is you are never going to caught up. You will never get on top of your tasks"
The key is: Prioritize your tasks!
That's the book in three words! But how?! Brian Tracy will show you how in this book, Eat That Frog! The ugly one first!
Very practical book. You would love this book if you actually applied the exercises throughout the book, and re-read it again and again. Books that are for personal development or business require active reading, taking notes, and reading again, until the knowledge you learn becomes a part of you. I have an audio copy and I still listen to it every once on a while, whenever I feel I'm getting behind on some tasks, or whenever I stop practicing some of it's methods. This books helped me a lot and it still helping me all the time. From the ABCD method, the creative procrastination, developing plans, considering the consequences, and much more.
This is my all time reference for better future, since I first read it. I wish I was told about this book early in time. Very early. It's a very useful tool, applicable methods.

His chapter summaries on p113 are a good resource to review.

A very basic collection of tips to beat procrastination. Geared very much toward sales and "business" people. Nothing really groundbreaking.
I was intrigued by how much the advice ran completely counter to much more valuable (to me) guide for professional creatives found in The Accidental Creative: How to Be Brilliant at a Moment's Notice. In contrast to that book's encouragement to respect your natural rhythms, take rest, and refill the well, Eat That Frog seemed more about ignoring your intuition and grinding away at thankless chores until you somehow "arrive" as a success.
Maybe that was the real problem for me. There was nothing here about enjoying the process, or the satisfaction of mastery. It was all about beating yourself into submission to win some external success, like a raise or a promotion.
Even when the author mentions the now basic idea of getting into flow (Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience) he completely misstates the entire concept, claiming that the trick to achieving it was to be work ever faster and somehow force your brain into some sort of mental hyperspeed, an idea that is found nowhere in Csíkszentmihályi's book.
The more I remember about this book, the less I like it.
Bottom line: If you're looking for a short collection of oversimplified self-psychology hacks to help you climb the corporate ladder, that this might be the book for you.
If you're looking for anything deeper, keep moving.

🙋After a long time, I finally picked up a self-help book which I have been wanting to read for years.
For a pro who's amazing at procastination, I have been procrastinating doing the same but this time I had to pick it up and actually read the physical copy so that I get the maximum benefit out of it.
First of all, it doesn't preach.
Second, it doesn't tell you fixed rules.
Third, it is not intimidating.
Fourth, there are no unnecessary details.
Fifth, it talks about only one topic, that is, get the most difficult or that one thing that would benefit you the most to be done with realistic, efficient ways and methods.
The summary towards the end of each chapter keeps you focused and evaluate. But I love the summary towards the end of the book so much! It is everything I needed.
I love how this book focused on only one topic but elaborating various methods or means to achieve this one task.
The chapters are really short. The writing doesn't waste words. It is as real as it gets.
This book is actually helping me these days and I am so glad a self-help book actually works. I have been following this concept for the past one month. And I am still following it. Surprisingly surprising myself ☺️
So is it effective? You bet!

سه بار تلاش کردم که بخونمش ولی هر سه بار بیشتر از ۵۰ صفحه نخوندم!
وقتی میخواین کتاب انگیزشی بنویسید و یه جورایی《راز موفقیت》! خودتون رو فریاد بزنید، حداقل یه چیزی بنویسید که بشه خوند!
و اما حقیقت ماجرا!
چه بخوایم قبول کنیم و چه نه، حقیقت اینه که این افراد به ظاهر موفق که ۱۰۰۰ تا کتاب راجع به موفقیت و اینجور چیز ها نوشتن، در اصل با نوشتن اونا پول درآوردن و به آرزوهاشون رسیدن، ما با خرید آت و آشغال هایی که تحویلمون میدن داریم راه رو برای اونا باز میکنیم.
حقیقتش اینه که من باز هم از این چرت و پرت ها میخرم، چون هنوز امیدم رو از دست ندادم، شاید یه روز کتابی رو پیدا کنم بتونم به بقیه معرفیش کنم و باعث تغییر واقعی سبک زندگی و بهبود اون بشه، اما فعلا هرچیزی که خوندم رو یا نصفه رها کردم یا بعد از تموم کردنش یه نفس راحت کشیدم و رفتم که مثل همیشه زندگیم رو بکنم.
اگه حوصله خوندن کتاب های این شکلی رو ندارید، نخونید!
شاید بعضی از پیشنهاد هاش بدرد بخوره، اما همون پیشنهاد هارو با صرف ۳ دقیقه میتونید تو فضای مجازی پیدا کنید، پس پولتون و وقتتون رو هدر ندید.

I saw the author, Brian Tracy, several years ago at a seminar as a motivational speaker and became a fan. Needed some extra motivation on getting tasks done recently and 'Eat That Frog' definitely helps with re-prioritizing things on the task list and making a plan to get them done. Listening to the audio book is even that more effective. Here are the notes I made while listening (his major principles):
Decide what I want. Plan every day in advance. 20% of my activities are 80% of my results - and these are the tasks we usually procrastinate the most on. Consider the consequences of not completing the tasks. Prioritize the task list, start with the most important. Focus on my key result areas. Always do the most important things first. Continually upgrade my skills, even if only for 15 minutes a day. Leverage my special talents. Identify the constraints and find ways to alleviate them. Break down huge tasks into smaller steps. Pressure myself with a sense of urgency. Figure out my high points of energy in the day and schedule my most demanding tasks then. Be optimistic and focus on the solution, not the problem. I am allowed to procrastinate on low value tasks. Do the most difficult task (frog) first thing in the mroning. Create larger blocks of time for key tasks. Do nothing else until your main task is done - no multi-tasking.

التهم هذا الضفدع
عنوان غريب ولكن ليس غريب علي من يعرف المثل الذي يقول : يقال علي مر السنين أنه إذا كان أول ش�� تفعله كل صباح هو أكل ضفدع حي فإنك ستكون راضيا طوال اليوم لأنك تعرف أن هذا سيكون أسوء شئ يحدث لك طيلة النهار
الضفدع هنا هو الأمور الثقيلة في يومك والتي تأجلها وتبدأ بالامور السهلة المحببه لتصل في النهاية إلي عدم انجاز اي شئ في يومك
كتاب عملي جدا يتضمن ٢١ طريقة لتنظيم أعمالك يوميا والتخلص من المماطلة والتسويف

Für alle, die produktiver & erfolgreicher werden möchten: absolute Empfehlung!
Aber man sollte aufpassen, dass man sich da nicht verrennt & am Ende an Burnout erkrankt.
Job & Erfolg sind definitiv nicht alles.
Das Buch ist aber sehr motivierend. 🥰

¿QUÉ SAPO, DICES, QUE ME HE DE TRAGAR😱?
Porque, a ver, si es de chocolate, se hace el esfuerzo (que no se diga que no lo he intentado🤭)
🌸Pero y, ¿si te dijera que el SAPO en cuestión es tu mayor ÉXITO?
🌸Sí, sé que ahora te he pillado en fuera de juego y que me miras en plan: "He? Je ne comprend pas"🤪
🌸Bien, imagina que tienes un montón de cosas que hacer hoy (te lo estoy poniendo difícil, ¿verdad🤭?) Y, que entre ese lío de cosas hay una que te hará BRILLAR por encima de todas las demás! Pero, ojo, solo UNA!
🌸¿Cuál tarea realizarías antes?
🌸EXACTO!
Te comerías primero ese SAPO, ¿no?
🌸"Claro", me dirás, pero también un: "Pero ¿cómo sé yo cuál es el sapo que tengo que comerme primero?🤔"
🌸Muy sencillo, Brian Tracy te ayuda a descubrirlo a través de un montón de ejercicios y de HAZLO AHORA, antes de seguir leyendo🤩. Con ellos, te guía para que descubras tu máximo potencial y hacía dónde debes enfocar tus esfuerzos para obtener tus mayores LOGROS.
RECUERDA: El sapo que tienes que tragar PRIMERO es el que te hará BRILLAR!
🌸Por cierto, yo ya estoy poniendo en práctica lo que he aprendido y solo puedo decirte una cosa: ABRAN CANCHA, QUE VOY CON LA DIRECTA PUESTA🔥!
