REVIEW: EAT THAT FROG by Brian Tracy (PART II)

GREAT RULE TO SUCCESS: "THINK ON PAPER" The key to reaching high levels of performance and productivity, as explained in the book, is for you to develop the lifelong habit of tackling your major task first thing each morning. You must develop the routine of "Eating your frog" before you do anything else, and without taking too much time to think about it. Successful, effective people are those who launch directly into their major tasks and then discipline themselves to work steadily and single mindedly until those tasks are complete. Another thing is for you to always finish a task that you started. At that point, this behavior takes on a power of its own and you find it easier to complete important tasks than not to complete them. According to Brian Tracy, you need three key qualities to develop the habits of focus and concentration. They are all learnable.  Decision,  Discipline and  Determination. First, make a decision to develop the habit of task completion. Second, discipline yourself to practice the principles you are about to learn over and over until you master them. And finally, back everything you do with determination until the habit is locked in and becomes a permanent part of your personality.
