There's an old saying: if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that it's probably the worst thing you'll have to do all day. Using “eat that frog” as a metaphor for tackling your most challenging task―the one you are most likely to procrastinate on but that will also most likely have the greatest impact on your life―Brian Tracy explains that tasks must be prioritized because there just isn't enough time to do everything on your list. According to Tracy, successful people don't even try: they zero in on the critical tasks to better organize their day. Using effective time-management skills, they get more done faster―and they always get the rights things done.
