Eat that Frog!
Learn how to stop procrastinating high value tasks that can move your life forward. This book discusses the importance of goal setting, creative procrastination, time management and creating priority ranking for all of your tasks.
This slideshow is a comprehensive overview of Brian Tracy's book Eat That Frog! The basic premise of Eat That Frog is that we should focus on the highest payback, least-appealing task of the day FIRST, before anything else. He asserts that "your ability to select your most important task at each moment, and then to start on that task and get it done both quickly and well, will probably have more of an impact on your success than any other quality or skill you can develop!”
According to the author, an average person who masters this one technique will run circles around a genius who talks a lot and makes wonderful plans, but gets very little done. (I know somebody like this, don’t you?)
Furthermore, he says that "The ability to concentrate on this one important task, single-mindedly, to do it well, and to finish it completely is the key to great success, achievement, status and happiness in life.”
Let's all go eat that frog!
I love Brian Tracy's use of quotes in the book, and have included many of them in the slideshow.
If you're looking to be more productive, stop procrastinating the important stuff (We can all use less procrastination, right?), start procrastinating more creatively (I like the sound of that!), and reach the goals you have yet to attain, I highly recommend utilizing this information!

https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

5 Ways To Do Focused Work In A Distracted World
1. HOW TO DO FOCUSED WORK IN A DISTRACTED
WORLD
www.workurious.com
2. 1. REDUCE EMAIL/GROUP CHAT TO A CERTAIN TIME IN THE MORNING
Mornings usually happen to be the best time for focused hard work because that’s when we’re fresh and haven’t
hit decision fatigue yet. Productivity experts have for years warned against beginning the day with email or
chatting.
Experiment with waiting until 10 am or even noon before checking your emails. Would anything bad happen if
you wait 4 hours longer to respond to a message? Reducing chatting to a specific time enables you to get more
done in the focused hours of the morning.
Check emails twice a day: one hour when you first enter the office and one hour before you leave the office, by
dedicating specific time slots for checking emails, you will discover you’re actually able to read more emails in
less time. And when you remove email checking from the core part of your work day, your time will be dedicated
to higher priority, uninterrupted, productive tasks.
Maura Thomas, who is a speaker, trainer, founder of RegainYourTime, and author of Personal Productivity
Secrets and Work Without Walls: An Executive’s Guide to Attention Management in the Age of Distraction says:
Shut off automatic download of messages and start fetching emails only when you’re ready
to deal with them.
Having this done on your phone too, will save your battery life.
3. 2. FOCUS ON ONE THING AT A TIME
Having more than one activity going on at the same time isn’t unusual; but at the moment when you’re doing
one particular task, focus and put all the other things aside.
When people get confused and overwhelmed, it’s because too many things are being focused on at once.
According to Tor Refsland when you multitask, two things happens:
• Your performance on several tasks will yield average quality, and
• Your brain becomes less effective when you try to focus on a single task.
If you have a lot to do, then by all means do them all, but only do them in sequence. When you go to the gym,
you probably have a whole routine you carry out, but when you’re on one machine, you’re not thinking about the
others; are you? You solely focus on the machine you’re on, and when you move on to the next machine, your
attention is given to that session and so on.
Work can be handled the same way and you’ll find out that you do each job and all of them together better.
Research has not only shown that multitasking doesn’t work, but that it’s also bad for your brain.
4. 3. WRITE-DOWN ONE OR TWO THINGS THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO GET DONE AND SET REMINDERS
If you find yourself procrastinating on a project, it’s often because you don’t know the next course of action.
Take a breather and ask yourself:
What is it that I need to Find Out, Decide, or Do?
Keep the piece of paper on you all day. Refer to it and don’t carry out other activities until you can cross those
one or two things off of your list.
If you’re a business owner, make sure that at least one of them revolves around something that puts money in
your pocket (directly or indirectly). Usually the mental block is one or more of these three things asked.
• What information do I need to find and use?
• What decision(s) do I need to pluck out of the air and what are my choices?
• What do I need to get done so that the rest of the pieces fall into place and completes the puzzle?
Studies have shown that 90% of the time, having a list of tasks to carry out and asking these questions when
you hit a block will get you moving again.
5. 4. GET REWARDED
Remember when you were a kid and you got rewards for getting things done? The thrill of getting something at
the end of a task not only motivates you but drives you to achieve more.
In his Book, The 100 Simple Secrets of Successful People, David Niven illustrated that rewards are responsible
for three-quarters of why we do things. Researchers find that the rewards that one believes are attainable, is a
significant factor in determining satisfaction and dedication towards work.
Perceived self-interest accounts for over 70 percent of personal ambition towards accomplishment. So,
whenever you complete a task on your to-do list treat yourself. (Yes, we know this is how dogs are trained but it
will work for you too.) If you think you’ll be having trouble in getting a reward stupendous enough to get you off
your couch, you should try a “commitment device”.
Have your friend hold $100. If you can complete a task by 5PM, you get your $100 back. If you don’t complete
it, you lose the $100 and your friend decides what to do with it. Your to-do list just became MUST-DO.
6. 5. LEARN HOW TO BALANCE STRUCTURED AND UNSTRUCTURED WORK
You as a creative person, will have a regular flow of new ideas and opportunity to try out these ideas in order to
achieve peak performance, but too much time spent tinkering with pet projects, and reading about new
concepts can lead to a miss dispensation of your time resources, and your core, i.e. “structured” work doesn’t
get done.
Companies like Google give their employees, freedom to use 20 percent of their paid hours as part of the time to
pursue special “unstructured” projects so as to encourage innovation. You need a structured approach to make
sure you don’t spend the 80 percent of your focused-work time, on the new and innovative pet projects.
If you use a shared calendar, you can control the nature and timing of unstructured campaign by blocking the
different elements of your work in time, which will then force people you share your calendar with to program
their activities around your top priorities. If you have someone else doing your scheduling for you, let him or her
understand that only a specific number of meetings or calls in a day or a week can be taken by you, so you don’t
end up with insufficient time to accomplish organized tasks.
7. “
Remember, you can never get
everything done. Events and people
that could potentially cut off your
momentum abruptly may occur. You
can do focused work by having more
control over time spent on the
activities that brings you the biggest
results
