(Your "frog" is your biggest, most important task, the one you are most likely to procrastinate on if you don't do something about it. It is also the one task that can have the greatest positive impact on your life and results at the moment), quoted from the Introduction of the book.
"The first rule of frog-eating is: "If you have to eat two frogs, eat the ugliest one first”"
"Look for the good in every situation, “difficulties come not to obstruct but to instruct""
This book is a good read for everyone especially those who seek better productivity in what they do or normally work under stressful environments which require proper prioritization and efficient time management. The attractive title of the book “Eat That Frog!” refers to completing the biggest, ugliest task you may have in front of you on any given point in time.
Worth listening to indeed. I would recommend it.
