"There's just never enough time in a day. We try to manage our time better. We make lists. We work longer hours. Still, the work just never seems to get done.
Right off, Eat That Frog! states that no amount of organization or hard work is going to make us more productive. There are so many hours in the day. That can't be changed.
Instead, we need to look at our work differently. Not only do we have to prioritize but we have to do so properly. It won't help to do a hundred things in a day if these activities aren't actually creating revenue or aren't the best use of our time. Instead, we have to find that one task that is most important to do each day and complete it, even if that job isn't glamorous or fun. It might even be plain ugly (hence eat that frog). From there, we can eat the next biggest frog and so on.
Essentially, Eat That Frog! shows us how to clarify our vision. Then, we can make the best use of our time. Most of what we do each day is a waste of time anyway."
"The phrase "get more done in less time" always lures me in. The thought of getting even more than I already get done in a day sounds so appealing! Then I read the book and realize that I'm already doing what the book says. Sheesh! Perhaps the real lesson for me to learn is that I'm constantly trying to cram too much in to too little time.
So, bottom line...for a procrastinator, this would be a great, simple read. For me? Well, it met my need to constantly be reassured I am not a lazy person, but I didn't learn any new tricks! :-)"
"This book has lots of good ideas for time management and goal setting. Though there wasn't really any new information, it was a really nice refresher. The chapters were pretty short, so I felt like I was making progress every time I picked up this book to read some. I like the idea of "eating the frog" first.
A few years ago, I mentioned this book (based only on what I read about it on Amazon or Barnes & Noble's website) during a short talk I gave at t Junior League board meeting about time management. I remember that the "eat the frog" part made several people chuckle. Now I wish I'd read the book beforehand, especially since I know now that it was a pretty quick read."
"This book offers great advice on pritorizing your tasks and addressing the most important one at the start of the day. While I think the book does as good a job as any of teaching you to define priorities, it doesn't cover the important issues of shiftint priorities and interruptions."
