  • Eat that Frog!

    Author: Brian Tracy

    Procrastinators, be advised: Success is not a magical combination of genetics and fashion sense. Rather, it is a series of time management behaviors which must be practiced on a regular basis. Luckily, “EAT THAT FROG!” will show you how to deal with those challenging tasks you keep putting off in an accessible comic book format. Instead of slowing you down, completing these hard jobs only empowers you to tackle the rest of your day.

    “EAT THAT FROG!” is a vivid metaphor for conquering your most difficult tasks first. By ‘eating that frog’ during the first part of the morning, successful people know that the hardest part of the day is behind them. This allows them to plow through the rest of their business with relative cheer, and get more done on a daily basis. Plus, challenging tasks tend to be associated with the greatest personal and professional rewards. Once you learn how to develop habits that will allow you to perform at a consistently high level, the type of work you do becomes far more interesting.

    Bestselling author Brian Tracy cuts to the core of what is vital to effective time management: decision, discipline, and determination. While the pace of modern life can sometimes be overwhelming, “EAT THAT FROG!” will teach you 21 time-tested habits that will not only help you get a grip on your life, but boost your productivity. By making to-do lists and then confronting the most heinous task first, successful people make the best use of their energy. Based on the international best-seller, this comic book version pairs illustrated panels with the original text. These illustrations will show you in only a few minutes how to avoid the time-trap pitfalls of technology while making the most of its efficiency.

    Remember: While nobody can do absolutely everything, everybody can do a little something. By prioritizing your critical tasks, you can stop procrastinating and start accomplishing today.

    • Funny!
      from S. Wood

      The title "Eat That Frog" is funny enough. I like how he tackled procrastination through something funny. We all put certain things off until the last minute or even sometimes not even get them done. This comic talks about tackling the big problems first, getting them out of the way so you don't feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. I found this a pretty amusing read. Go for it. At least you will be entertained and maybe learn something.

    • Very Helpful!
      from JCroichy

      Eat That Frog from Smarter Comics is a self-help display, which will steer readers in the correct direction of success. There is definitely a humorous touch of how Brian Tracy gets his point across and it is quite brilliant. I'm sure there are plenty of readers stuck in the typical sense of dressing for success and being only intellectually ready. However, Brian Tracey shows us that managing our time is the true way of success. We must that procrastinate. In addition, I've always been a fan of Smarter Comics. It's always fun to read the comic layout of literature.
