Book Review - Eat that Frog

TITLE: Eat that Frog.
AUTHOR: Brian Tracy.
GENRE: Self-improvement.
THEME: Ways to stop procrastinating.

 

 

          “There is never enough time!” This could possibly be the answer to all whose works are ever heaped up. No matter however effective you try to manage all works in your “to do” list, it often ends up unproductive. Eat that Frog provides 21 great ways to stop procrastinating and get more done in less time. The metaphor, and also the title Eat that Frog, is quite catchy. Frog is regarded as an ugly, slippery creature that one wants to get rid off; taking that as a metaphor, Tracy relates it to the biggest and most important task that has to be primarily completed, and got rid off. One of the interesting methods the book suggests is to practise creative procrastination wherein one deliberately puts off tasks that are of low value, and does not need immediate attention to act to. Doing so, one gets ample time to prioritize works considering its vitality. Though we all know how to stop procrastinating, we seek some kind of reiteration of the same: self help books serves this purpose. To put it in a nut shell, there will be no limit to what you can accomplish when you learn how to Eat That Frog!

       This easy­read book takes just few hours to finish reading, however, Tracy offers certain bullet points and exercises that ought to be repeated on a daily basis. It is compact and can be carried in a briefcase or a bag.
