Eat That Frog!

Brian Tracy, a motivational speaker and self-development author, takes his central image from an old saying: whoever eats a live frog first thing in the morning has already got the worst thing of the day out of the way. For Tracy, the frog is the most challenging task on the list, and often the one that can do the most good. Since there will never be time for everything, he argues, successful people do not try to do it all; they focus on what matters most and see that it gets done. He sets out 21 practical ways to stop procrastinating and names three qualities as the core of time management: decision, discipline and determination.

Adam Johnston, co-founder of Last Call Trivia, called it the best productivity and time management book he has read.
