Today's book Eat that Frog by Brian Tracy. A fast, practical guide to getting more done by mastering the art of doing first things first. The frog is your most important task, the one you're most likely to avoid, and also the one that will most move your life forward the most powerfully. Brian Tracy Love him. I've mentioned before. Listen to all of his CDs. Back in the day when I had more hair. We're just getting into this stuff 25 years ago now. Time flies. Here's your one minute summary. Start with the frog. Identify your hardest, highest value task and do it first thing before distractions and delays set in. This is probably my number one thing that I've done to increase my productivity. You got to be creative before you're reactive. Then you got to do the most important thing. You do that consistently, you can do extraordinary things. Don't clear small tasks first. Checking email or busy work feels productive but drains your momentum. Eat the frog instead. Clarity equals power. Decide exactly what you want. Write your goals. Break them down. Prioritize. Apply the 8020 principle. 20% of your tasks create 80% of your results. Focus there. Ruthlessly discipline your focus. One finished frog beats 50 half done tasks. Multitasking kills deep work. Procrastination doesn't protect you, it robs you. So what's your frog today and when will you eat it? Hope you enjoy. Check out the notes. Have a great day.
