Essay / Review of “Eat that Frog Self-Help Book” by Brian Tracy
As social creatures, we human beings are intelligent enough to strive for development, high productivity, and personal growth. There are many methods, approaches and recommendations to increase productivity, stop procrastinating and complete so many tasks per day that it is difficult to imagine that it is possible to have only 24 hours. “Eat that frog!” teaches to accept challenges right away and start with the most difficult task, the author assures that if you have completed the most “ugly” task for you, the rest is not so heavy, scary or something like (there should be a reason why you are declining this task).

The biggest enemy of success is laziness or procrastination, call it what you want but the meaning remains the same - we are not willing to complete the task we have to do, we try to delay it, postpone it - but the book shows that these actions distance us from our success, our well-being and can kill our productivity. The hardest and most essential part of the job is motivating yourself to take action. So let's follow the rule: "Well started, it's half done." Moreover, as the book shows, we are not obliged to do the entire amount of work, tasks, since only 20% of our activity gives 80% of our results, so we must emphasize the most important part and there pay more attention. I was really surprised by the emphasized importance of planning. This appears almost everywhere in the book. It's been emphasized hundreds of times that a good plan, to-do list, task list - whatever - is essential for you to be highly productive. Another useful hint I got from the book - is that we need to be careful and careful when choosing prerequisite tasks - because by choosing just 3 integral tasks you can complete 90% of your work at the same time. It looks like magic. The book is truly motivating and makes you believe that every challenge is achievable, the only condition being the judicious distribution of time, power and amount of work. There are methods and recommendations such as "Improve your key skills", "Take advantage of your special talents", "Identify your main constraints", "Put pressure on yourself", "Maximize your personal powers" - which can not not only increase your work abilities and productivity, but are also very useful in helping you know yourself better, improve your personal character traits or even transform yourself into a whole new, better, more successful, confident and truly powerful person.
