Brian Tracy's great book, Eat That Frog, is a 117 page rapid read that will set you free. In the preface, he immediately eases your mind writing "The fact is that you are never going to get all caught up!" His title is based on Mark Twain's advice of "If the first thing you do each morning is to eat a live frog, you can go through the day with the satsfaction of knowing that that is probably the worst thing that is going to happen to you all day long."

3 quick steps to ending procrastination Tracy teaches are:

1 - As soon as you wake each morning, think for a moment of your great big dream. Why are you doing what you do for a living? What are you passionate about?

2 - Next, even before getting up, ask yourself, "What is the single most important thing I MUST do today to ultimately reach that goal?"

3 - Do it FIRST! Eat that frog and enjoy the rest of the day knowing that you're moving in the direction of your goals....and enjoy the ride!

I love to read and will keep you updated on some great tips from the greatest books so that you don't have to read them all. I also would love your recommendations of your favorite read.

Cheryl:  I agree!  I jog first thing in the morning and take care of the most difficult tasks first.  I will read that book; every little bit helps!

I will re-blog your post and I would love to have you join our Optimist Groupand post your blogs there.  Joining several groups and posting each blog to 5 groups (the maximum allowed by AR) will increase your readership and multiply your comments.  You should also post this to your Localism.com area, which will help you garner some leads from your blogs. 

I look forward to reading your blogs on the Optimist Board!
