Eat That Frog!, 3rd Edition | 
pickThis book is exactly what it says. Inside are 21 actionable steps anyone can take to get done what needs to be done. There is a lot of value contained within this short book. Another one that should be read often. I've started a few of the ideas outlined. Get it and eat that frog!!
This intrigues me. I need "time management" in my busy life. This looks to be a book of actionable steps, not theory.
"We always have time enough,
If we will but use it aright. "
( johann wolfgang von Goethe)
This is quote from the book ' Eat that frog!
It's a really nice book for stop procrastination.
Herein lies the secret of true power. Learn, by constant practice, how to husband your resources, and to concentrate them at any given moment upon a given point.
JAMES ALLEN
Do not wait; the time will never be “just right.” Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
NAPOLEON HILL
All of life is the study of attention; where your attention goes, your life follows.
JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI
Technology can be your best friend or your worst enemy.
so-soThis was recommended in one of those productivity reading lists and since it was a short audiobook I decided to give it a go.
The points are all what one generally hears from productivity gurus so it was no better or no worse than any other book. However, I think I am currently a bit burnt out from work, so the “go-go-go“ / just motivate yourself attitude is not working for me right now. 😅
There is more to life than just increasing its speed.
MOHANDAS GANDHI
It is not what happens to you but the way that you interpret the things that are happening to you that determines how you feel.
Whatever you have to do, there is always a limiting factor that determines how quickly and well you get it done.
Concentrate all your thoughts on the task at hand. The sun‘s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.
ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL
“Anytime you stop striving to get better, you‘re bound to get worse.”
The only certain means of success is to render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be.
OG MANDINO
Don‘t expect perfection the first time or even the first few times. Be prepared to fail over and over before you get it right.
No matter what the level of your ability, you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime.
JAMES T. MCCAY
It is the quality of time at work that counts and the quantity of time at home that matters.
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Your weakest key result area sets the height at which you can use all your other skills and abilities.
The first law of success is concentration—to bend all the energies to one point, and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor to the left.
WILLIAM MATHEWS
“Only engage, and the mind grows heated. Begin it, and the work will be completed.”
“The things that matter most must never be at the mercy of the things that matter least.”
“There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing.”
The time is going to pass anyway. The only question is how you use it and where you are going to end up at the end of the weeks and months that pass.
Long-term thinking improves short-term decision making.
Every great man has become great, every successful man has succeeded, in proportion as he has confined his powers to one particular channel.
ORISON SWETT MARDEN
We always have time enough, if we will but use it aright.
JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE
Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.
ALAN LAKEIN
Stephen Covey says, “If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.”
There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants and a burning desire to achieve it.
NAPOLEON HILL
It has been said that if the first thing you do each morning is to eat a live frog, you can go through the day with the satisfaction of knowing that that is probably the worst thing that is going to happen to you all day long.
Galileo once wrote, “You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.”
But the fact is that you are never going to get caught up. You will never get on top of your tasks.
As Pat Riley, the basketball #coach, said, "Anytime you stop striving to get better, you're bound to get worse.” #QuotsyMay20

If you were to ask me the number one thing I should #Stop doing, it would be procrastinating. My mom used to call me a “procrastinating perfectionist”—putting off what I didn‘t want to do but then working extra hard & late to do it with perfection. I‘m better than I used to be but I still will pull out this quick & easy read with its good tips about overcoming procrastination when I find myself sliding backwards. #🍽🐸📚
pickWhat a great book! It has really helped me think about the work I should be doing and in what order to accomplish it. The closing chapter alone with the list of things to do and not do is worth the audible credit.
To read this
Yesterday's prompt was #BestDay, #septemberdanes @Cinfhen @Kalalalatja.

Third edition already, this book might be good.
pickA very simple book
I listened to the audio version. I was surprised how it held my attention through all 21 techniques. If you are looking for new strategy to minimize your procrastinating and increase productivity and time management this is a great book to pick up
