Yes, this is a book for people like me; procrastinators.
Eat that Frog is one of the best productivity books that I've ever read. It taught me the benefits of hyper-focusing on a task at a time.
Just as the title depicts, a frog is the least animal you could ever find attractive. Now, try imagining chomping on some frogs - not a pleasant picture, I guess.
The author used the book title as an analogy to describe the unpleasant tasks that we dread doing.
In this post, I will share the basic nuggets you can get from this amazing book.
Set Goals: this is one of the best ways to beat procrastination. Write your top 10 goals for the year on a piece of paper. This will give you clarity to choose the grossest "Frog" you need to ear first.
Use the 80/20 principle: it's also called the Pareto principle. It involves using small efforts to get huge results. This book tells you to focus more on those tasks that require less efforts but yield great results. I call this: working smart.
Break down your goals into tiny portions: it's easy to get overwhelmed when you want to complete a goal in one huge step. To solve this, break your goals into micro-goals.
I know I must have missed some important nuggets. So, I need your contributions. Remember, procrastination is the thief of time.
