10 lessons from Brian Tracy's book, Eat That Frog!: 21 Great ways to stop procrastinating and get more done in less time.
1. Eat that frog first: This means tackling your most important task first thing in the morning. It's the most important task because it's the one that will have the biggest impact on your day, week, or month.
2. Set priorities: Once you know what your most important task is, you need to set priorities for the rest of your day. This will help you stay focused and avoid distractions.
3. Break down large tasks into smaller steps: Large tasks can be daunting and overwhelming. Break them down into smaller, more manageable steps that you can take one at a time.
4. Set deadlines for yourself: Deadlines will help you stay on track and avoid procrastination.
5. Eliminate distractions: This means turning off your phone, closing your email, and finding a quiet place to work.
6. Take action even when you don't feel like it: Sometimes the hardest part is just getting started. Once you get started, you'll often find that the momentum carries you through.
7. Celebrate your successes: This will help you stay motivated and on track.
8. Don't be afraid to ask for help: If you're struggling, don't be afraid to ask for help from a friend, family member, or professional.
9. Be patient: It takes time to develop the discipline and follow-through to achieve your goals. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results immediately.
10. Don't give up: The only way to fail is to give up. If you keep trying, you will eventually succeed.
Following these lessons can help you develop the discipline and follow-through to achieve your goals. This will lead to greater success in all areas of your life.
