21 extraordinary ways to stop procrastinating, get rid of inertia and be successful in any situation. I just wrote the cover slogan of the book, friends. Although very interesting, I read this book not because of this slogan, but because of the good advice about this book. The author shared very valuable information about planning our lives, especially by mentioning time management, which I think can be very useful. Here are the articles that impressed me, that I underlined or took notes in the book of Brian Tracy Eat That Frog. I hope you will like it 🙂
If you have to eat two frogs, start with the ugliest. This means that if you have two important tasks ahead of you, start with the biggest, most difficult and most important one. One final observation: “If you have to eat the frog alive, sitting for a long time and watching it won’t do you any good.”
Whenever you complete a task of any scale or importance, you feel a surge of energy, a drive, and a sense of self-esteem. The more important the job is, the stronger and more confident you will feel.
Stephen Covey: Before you start climbing the ladder of success, check that it’s leaning against the right building.
Always go forward. Once you start moving, don’t stop. Just such a decision, such discipline alone is enough to make you one of the most productive and successful members of your generation.
Prepare your to-do list after the previous working day. You’ll find you wake up with great ideas to get your work done faster and better than you originally thought.
Mark the items you have completed as you understand the day. This process visualizes what you’ve accomplished. It reinforces the sense of achievement and progress. The progress you make on the list both motivates you and refreshes your energy. Your self-confidence and self-esteem increase. Concrete and regular development pushes you forward and prevents the urge to neglect your work.
Time management is really life management, that is, individual management. We can also call this the control of the order of events. Time management is also controlling what you do next.
The habit of long-term thinking positively affects the ability to make short-term decisions.
There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always time to do the most important things.
One of the main causes of delay and procrastination is a feeling of inadequacy, lack of confidence, or incompetence in a crucial area of work. Feeling weak or lacking, even in a single area, is reason enough not to start.
Become a lifetime student of your own profession. The school of professionals never ends.
Alexander Graham Bell: Focus your thoughts entirely on what you have. The sun never burns unless it passes through the lens.
You must neglect something! Forget about eating smaller and less ugly frogs. First of all, look at the biggest and the ugliest.
