It’s time to stop procrastinating and get more of the important things done! After all, successful people don’t try to do everything. They focus on their most important tasks and get those done. They eat their frogs.

There’s an old saying that if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you’re done with the worst thing you’ll have to do all day. For Tracy, eating a frog is a metaphor for tackling your most challenging task—but also the one that can have the greatest positive impact on your life.

Eat That Frog! shows you how to organize each day so you can zero in on these critical tasks and accomplish them efficiently and effectively. The core of what is vital to effective time management is: decision, discipline, and determination. And in this fully revised and updated edition, Tracy adds two new chapters. The first explains how you can use technology to remind yourself of what is most important and protect yourself from what is least important. The second offers advice for maintaining focus in our era of constant distractions, electronic and otherwise.

This life-changing book will ensure that you get more of your important tasks done today.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“BEWARE: This book will have a profound impact on your working practices and the results you’ll achieve. Eat That Frog! challenges your working practices, it explains the self-discipline needed to succeed, and [it] firmly gets to the root cause of why people procrastinate. Then it effortlessly explains how to boost your productivity once and for all.”
—Micro Business Hub

“If you find procrastination to be a consistent problem in your life, Eat That Frog! offers a concise and valuable collection of tactics to try. The reasons for each person’s procrastination are different, so it’s good that Tracy’s tactics are fairly diverse and attack many different avenues of procrastination.”
—The Simple Dollar

“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 I’d like to follow in the coming year. Each time I read the book, I find new nuggets of productivity gold.”
—Liz Gooster, Change for the Better

“Everyone has a frog, and eating that frog is the best thing you can do to stop procrastinating. Procrastination is a time-killer, and Tracy has a way of making getting over that frog fun and exciting. 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.”
—Peanut Press

“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 trail kind of stuff), it isn’t. Like you, I have read zillions of books—and most of the time I can’t remember anything that I have just read. Not with this one. I’m eating frogs daily and feeling better for it! I can’t recommend Eat That Frog! enough.”
—Corinna Richards, The Coaching Academy

“This book gave me the kick in the pants I needed to organize my to do lists, plan my days, become more productive, and get focused.”
—Beth Anne Schwamberger, Brilliant Business Moms

“Eat That Frog! is the most accessible book on time management and personal productivity—I recommend you read this one before you learn any particular time management system. There are tons of exercises and techniques that you can implement right away, and that is what I like the most about the book—it gives you actionable steps so you can start right away.”
—Thanh Pham, Asian Efficiency

“An impactful read. The 21 ways that [Tracy] shares are real game changers, if you read with an eye towards self-improvement and an intention to make a change. I have benefitted greatly from this book, and I highly recommend that you pick up your own copy today.”
—Chris Moore, Reflect on This

“We strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to manage her time well and also add value to herself in this competitive world.”
—The Journal of Applied Christian Leadership

“I wasn’t expecting all that much from the book initially, as the whole ‘eating a frog’ seemed like some new age nonsense that didn’t really apply in real life. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The best thing about this book is that it actually tells you what you should do. It doesn’t just spout philosophy after philosophy about dreams and hope. It gives solid, practical advice that applies to pretty much every one—students, employees, stay-at-home moms, entrepreneurs, etc. Whether you’re having time management issues or not, I’d recommend you pick up this book. You’re sure to learn something useful from it.”
—Fab, Shocks and Shoes

“This book distinguishes itself from others of the same type by laying out specific guidelines for developing the self-discipline that allows you to start and complete important tasks in sequence. Each of the 21 chapters offers clear instructions and practice exercises to help you determine if you are making the best use of your time at any given moment. You’ll 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. You’ll even find out what to tell yourself to do if you’re having trouble getting started, or become distracted and need to get back on track.”
—Carnegie Library Business Librarians, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Decent primer, but there are a number of books that go much deeper.

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a fairly quick read and if you haven’t done much reading around productivity and focus, you **need** to read this book. It’s going to give you the best primer around on getting focused, and staying focused in the midst of distraction.

It’s going to give you a good look at how to choose the most important task.

If you’ve read books like The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results , Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World , The 12 Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months then you may feel like this book barely scratches the surface of the topics.

In that case, head to the library and read the Conclusion of the book. It summarizes every point for you. Then you can decide if you need to invest the time to read the whole book.

Kinda Bait and switch!

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book felt like a bit of a bait and switch to me. There were no "great (or even mediocre) ways to STOP PROCRASTINATING" listed in this book.

Instead, it goes on and on about how to organize your thoughts around goals, which is fine and valid, but NOT what I assume someone looking for a book about measures to specifically address procrastination is trying to read about.

The tone of this book comes across like "well, if you don't want to be poor anymore, go make some money!"
Rather, "if you don't want to procrastinate any more, just go do something!" But then doesn't show you ways HOW to do something about getting over procrastination. "Slicing" big tasks up into smaller tasks is not addressing procrastination, its a task management strategy, that might be an effective way for someone who might be disorganized or overwhelmed but motivated to achieve a goal.

And don't get me started on the "most important" task of the day. I work in an industry where everything is a constant fire, so all of it its "the most important" and someone in middle management like myself can either do what I'm told or quit... which is great if I happened to have the resources to just live my life or i guess have my own company. I would LOOOVE to apply time-blocking strategies to my work load, but that is not something that helps with procrastination. If procrastination is the problem, then you can time-block as the day is long and then put off what you were supposed to do in that block anyway.

If it was titled something like "21 anecdotes that might help you re-prioritize your to-do list" or "21 adages about time management that may or may not apply to your field of work" that would have been a more accurate (and less attractive?) title...

Not For Everyone

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2019

The first 4 chapters, I got really into it. I love the approach, and really enjoyed it. But, I am a Stay At Home Mom, have not started my business yet, still have a ways to go on that, and the book title said nothing about it being for business people only. I read 4 more chapters, but none applied to me, nor did anything in the workbook, which I also bought. I'm sure once I've had my business for a few years, it will be great to come back and reread and work through, but for now, the rest of this book is utterly useless to me.

Must Read for Procrastinators

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2017

I'm the king of procrastination, and I needed this book to help me get out of my rut. It was suggested by a friend, and quite possibly saved my job. Many times we get "busy" doing the wrong things because we are avoiding the hard/important things. If that sounds like you, read the book.

Great stuff from Brian Tracy as usual

EDIT 2: WOW! What a book once you grasp the main message. It hammers it home hundreds of times but it took me 3 times reading it to really get it. Yes, my productivity is doubled. "Determine your most important task, (based on your goals), work on it single mindedly until you finish it, and then move on to your next most important task."

Re-read that again if necessary. That is what I got as the main message of the book, and I took it to heart, and it has given me so much peace of mind, confidence, and pride.

I am so grateful for this book. It really delivered on the promise of getting more done in less time, at least that of importance.

HIGHLY recommended. Will be buying this for my team.

EDIT: After re-reading it, gotta say it is concise and powerful. Applying the simple principles and doing the thought exercises are very helpful!

Great stuff from Brian Tracy as usual. He'll tell you the fundamentals of productivity! Not a ton of extrapolation and theory, just "do this, here's why." Will read again

Good advice, but often repetitive and conflicting

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this book because Ruth Soukup is constantly mentioning it. The book is a quick read of 21 very short chapters. Each chapter details a "tip" for personal productivity and success. It reads a bit like a disjointed collection of 21 loosely related blog posts that someone stitched together into a book. Some of the advice is timeless and helpful - like do the hardest, most impactful thing first every day. Some of the advice seems dated and cheesy - as in it very much reminded me of business productivity seminars I attended in the early 90's. That may not seem "dated" but in terms of technology and business culture that is ancient history.

I think what bugged me the most was the conflicting advice. A few chapters tell you not to work so hard, spend more time with your family, you don't get those years back, you don't want to arrive at old age and realize all you did was work, etc. Okay, that's great! Then there are other chapters repeatedly exhorting you to work harder, get to the office first, be the last one to leave, etc. So which is it??? This is why I said the book feels like a disjointed collection of favorite bits he's written over decades and no one bothered to notice some of the advice conflicts.

Are there a few useful gems? Sure! You can read the summary chapter with all the tips summarized to get the entire value of this book.

I’d heard of this book for many years and had to buy a copy after recently listening to the audio book. It’s a great book to refer back to and many of the principles have been put into practice with great effect. I train and coach people for a living and this is one of my top recommendations for essential reading.
