Eat That Frog

I recently read an interesting book by Brian Tracy called "Eat That Frog!  21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time".

Thought I would share a couple of ideas from the book that might be a help with your organizing.

One of the first steps to becoming more productive is to create Clarity.

Clarity means that you need to decide exactly what you want to achieve in each area of your life. If you are fuzzy-minded about what you want, you will struggle with procrastinating, feeling confused, and generally not being very motivated.

Something to think about - he commented that only 3% of adults have clear written goals - but yet they achieve 5-10 times as much as those who don’t. Kind of makes you rethink this goals thing, doesn't it?

Want a formula for setting and achieving goals? Here's what he suggests:

1. decide exactly what you want
2. write it down – think on paper
3. set a deadline on your goal (with sub-deadlines if needed)
4. make a list of everything you can think of that you are going to have to do to achieve your goal
5. organize the list into a plan
6. take action on your plan immediately
7. resolve to do something every single day that moves you toward your major goals
