Eat That Frog! is my favourite book on productivity, and I often find myself rereading it in January to remind myself of the disciplines and practices Id like to follow in the coming year. Each time I read the book, I find new nuggets of productivity gold.

Every chapter presents a new idea, tip, and technique that will help you overcome that inner laziness that keeps you on the couch at night instead of in the gym.

Eat That Frog!, small in pages but huge in content, offers a cure for the curse of modern-day living: procrastination. Even though the medicine sounds painful (bush tucker trial kind of stuff), it isnt. Like you, I have read zillions of booksand most of the time I cant remember anything that I have just read. Not with this one. Im eating frogs daily and feeling better for it! I cant recommend Eat That Frog! enough.

The Journal of Applied Christian Leadership
I wasnt expecting all that much from the book initially, as the whole eating a frog seemed like some new age nonsense that didnt really apply in real life. I couldnt have been more wrong. The best thing about this book is that it actually tells you what you should do. It doesnt just spout philosophy after philosophy about dreams and hope. It gives solid, practical advice that applies to pretty much every onestudents, employees, stay-at-home moms, entrepreneurs, etc. Whether youre having time management issues or not, Id recommend you pick up this book. Youre sure to learn something useful from it.

Youll learn how to prepare yourself mentally and physically to tackle the task at hand, along with strategies for dividing it into manageable segments to keep you moving forward.
