Here’s a synopsis of the book I grabbed from Amazon: “Eat That Frog! shows you how to organize each day so you can zero in on these critical tasks and accomplish them efficiently and effectively. The core of what is vital to effective time management is a decision, discipline, and determination. And in this fully revised and updated edition, Tracy adds two new chapters. The first explains how you can use technology to remind yourself of what is most important and protect yourself from what is least important. The second offers advice for maintaining focus in our era of constant distractions, electronic and otherwise.” And here are my actual notes I took whilst I was listening to this on Audible:

  2. Always frame everything positivity

  1. Visualise yourself as the person you want to be
