AN ADAPTATION OF BRIAN TRACY\'S TIME MANAGEMENT BEST SELLER "EAT THAT FROG". I HAVE ADDED SOME CAPTIVATING VISUALS TO DRIVE HOME THE POINTS MADE.
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!

Eat that frog today so tomorrow will be a better place :)!

What makes babies laugh? Results from BabyLaughter.net survey.Caspar Addyman
The laughter of little babies is entrancing, infections and a surprising key component of their successful development. The baby laughter project surveyed over 1,500 parents of children under 2 ½ years old about their laughing babies. We asked them who and what made their babies laugh, we asked about favourite toys, games and and even asked them to send us videos of the things that made their babies laugh. This allowed us to look at the positive side of infant development which behavioural specialists often overlook. We found that laughter and happiness are even more important in the lives of babies than they are for adults.

Help Yourself - A novel with free answers to the meaning of life. Caspar Addyman
Yet another novel about comedy, fame and madness. But with answers to the meaning of life thrown in for free. John Smith just died as a comedian but may have been reborn as a prophet of the present moment. Dr Hazel Cole has written a self-help book so good that it might even work on daytime TV presenters. Behind the scenes, billionaire press baron Eric Hayle seems to be pressing all the buttons. But will this mysterious man spoil everything?
God only knows.
And what happens if you ask 644 professional philosophers about the meaning of life, the universe and everything? Caspar knows because he tried it. The results are included in this edition at no extra cost to you. But knowledge comes with its own price. You will have to put up with some of Caspar's ranting at the universe.

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.

2. What’s the point of a Masters or Doctorate?
A Masters/PhD is not another exam.
It is an apprenticeship in being an academic.
Academic n. 1. independent researcher.
2. a world expert (in something
almost nobody else cares about.)
Key words
INDEPENDENT and EXPERT
3. Independence
You are on your own…
But it is okay to ask advice.
There are others in the same boat.
You should be proud when you succeed.
Masters/PhD is incredible achievement
You deserve ALL the credit.
Ability to work independently is a
highly transferable skill.
4. Expertise
The bad news
10,000 - 50,000 hours (Simon & Chase, 1973)
The not so bad news
10,000 hours (Ericsson, 1996)
The good news
Quality of practice, not quantity.
Talent is far less important than determination
The excellent news
Practice can be fun & make you happy
(“FLOW” - Csikszentmihalyi, 1992)
5.
6. The secret is to make better use of your time
1.
Meta-cognitive awareness
Being aware of your bad habits will
lead to good ones
2.
Work smarter, not harder
According to the experts.
3.
Technology
Your enemy and your friend.
4.
How to read
Tips on active reading of literature
5.
Final tips
7. 1. Metacognitive awareness
We all have different strengths and weaknesses
AND THAT’S OKAY!!
Doesn’t mean you have to accept it
Play to your strengths
Work at your weaknesses
“KNOW THYSELF”
It worked for Socrates!
“ΓΝΩΘΙ ΣΕΑΥΤΟΝ”
8. Metacognitive Awareness Questionnaire
KNOWLEDGE ABOUT COGNITION
What type of learner are you?
1.Procedural – Learn by doing
>
Jump straight in
2.Declarative – Learn well from ‘facts’
>
Read widely.
1.Conditional/Contextual – Need background
knowledge & motivation
>
Evaluate your goals.
(Schraw & Dennison, 1994)
http://www.scribd.com/doc/175728784
9. Metacognitive Awareness Questionnaire
REGULATION OF COGNITION
Where can you use help & external strategies?
1.Planning
>
Organising time.
>
Organising knowledge.
>
Taking stock.
>
Checklists.
>
Get second opinions.
2.Information management
3.Comprehension monitoring
4.Debugging strategies
5.Evaluation
(Schraw & Dennison, 1994)
http://www.scribd.com/doc/175728784
10. 2. The ‘Experts’
A lot of what they say will be marketing hype.
Skim several different books to see where they agree.
Pick and choose things that work for you
11. S.M.A.R.T.(E.R)
The SMART mnemonic is
loved by business schools,
has been around a long
time and is a very useful
guide for goal setting.
Applies equally well to
whole projects or daily
tasks.
E
R
EVALUATE
REVALUATE
12. Daily routine
Do eat breakfast!
Start each day with a plan
Do difficult things first
Block your time
GO HOME!
14. 3. Technology is your enemy
Thousands of new ways to
procrastinate
Variable time reinforcements in
Facebook, etc. are incredibly
addictive.
Divided attention & task
switching hurt your productivity
Despite 30 years to get it right
Microsoft Office products still
crash and lose your work.
15. 3. Technology is your friend
For God’s sake, have
an automatic back up
Please consider time
tracking tools
RescueTime.com
TeamViz.com
16. Powerpoint as a lab notebook.
Documenting your experiments as
you go is a very good idea:
It clarifies your thinking
Helps in communicating your ideas
to your supervisor
Creates diagrams you can adapt
for your papers
A complete record of what you did
saves a LOT of time later on.
17. Powerpoint as a lab notebook.
You should include:
Literature review (just the
highlights)
Your ideas & hypothesis
(visualisations & graphics)
Methods – include pilots, stimuli,
experimental design
Results – get into habit of copying
& pasting stats & graphs.
18. Researchers online
Twitter & Blogs:
Follow specialists in your field
and science communicators
e.g. @deevybee, @vaughanbell,
@brainstraining, @edyong209
and @YOU!
Academic social networks:
Keep you abreast of new
research, share your papers,
ask questions.
19. Reference management
Papers/citations are the
currency of academia.
Reviewers & examiners pay
most attention to references.
Reference management
software makes organising,
handling & using papers &
citations easy.
22. 4. How NOT to read
You can’t read everything. Don’t even try.
But over 3 years you will be surprised
by how much you can read
Don’t print things out
You will quickly get swamped. You will
lose important notes.
Don’t believe the hype
“Most published research findings are false”
(Ionaddis, 2005)
23. 4. How to read
Stay digital
Read hierarchically I
Start with the most recent major review, then
highly cited paper, work your way down
Read hierarchically II
Start with the title, abstract, main result,
methods, references, intro, discussion
Highlight and annotate liberally.
If you use someone’s method, read their
paper(s) forensically.
24. 5. Scientific writing tips
Avoid jargon.
Write up your thesis as you go along
250 pages of PhD is a LOT to do all in one go!
Get your supervisor to set lots of little deadlines
rather than 1 BIG one. Stick to them!
If you get an opportunity to write something up
for publication, take it.
Book reviews, review articles, book chapters
Empirical papers can take up to a year to get
published.
“Writing is rewriting”
25. 5. General productivity tips
Caffeine helps but only up to a point
Performance follows an Yerkes-Dodson
inverted U-shaped curve
(Watter, Martin & Schretter, 1997)
Sleep is wonderful
Less sleep = worse performance
Sleep consolidates learning
http://healthysleep.med.harvard.edu
26. 5. General productivity tips
Aerobic exercise is good for the brain
Better than any other form of brain training
(Hillman, Erickson & Kramer, 2008)
Meditate
Helps with concentration / attention
27. Thank you for your time.
