In "Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time," Brian Tracy offers practical and effective strategies for overcoming procrastination and increasing productivity. The book's title is derived from a Mark Twain quote, "Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day."

The book is divided into 21 short, easy-to-read chapters, each focusing on a specific strategy for overcoming procrastination and increasing productivity.

One of the key takeaways from the book is the idea that procrastination is a habit that can be broken with the right strategies and mindset. Tracy argues that by developing a sense of urgency, focusing on the most important tasks, and eliminating distractions, anyone can significantly increase their productivity. Another important theme in the book is the idea that productivity is not just about getting more done, but about getting the right things done. Tracy encourages readers to focus on their most important tasks and to delegate or eliminate less important tasks. This approach not only increases productivity but also leads to a greater sense of fulfillment and accomplishment. Overall, "Eat That Frog!" is a practical and inspiring guide to overcoming procrastination and increasing productivity.
