“Eat That Frog” Review

This is a great book with a ton of useful and (importantly) doable ideas to “get yourself going”.  It’s often difficult to figure out ways to actually get over the mental blocks that cause procrastination and the associated “friction” of working.  This book has a TON of ideas that range from the motivational to the practical.  Exactly what I need.

Some of my favorite ideas/sections are …

I particularly like the idea of “positive addiction” layed out in the Introduction.  It seems that this is a lot of the answer that most of us are looking for.  If we can get that wheel spinning of finding success and enjoyment out of productive behavior … what else is there to conquer, really?

I also like the “Apply the Law of Three” section and it’s get down to business attitude.  The “Work All the Time You Work” is a big deal and an important idea.  It sounds so simple, but is seemingly so difficult to execute on a daily basis.  Finding that focus and energy to do nothing but what you intend as you sit down to work each day is so important.  Too much time is frittered away with random acts of wasted energy.

Creative procrastination is a great idea too.  It reminds me of the “management by broken glass” theory of getting things done.

Honestly, I guess I could just go through section by section on the book because it’s all good.  Definitely worth the read.
