How to Use This Book

Thanks for picking up this book. If you’re working through Eat That Frog!—or just living a normal life—you know that there’s simply never enough time to do every thing that needs doing. As much as you might keep alive the idea that you’ll eventually get caught up, you won’t. All you can do to get control over your life is change the way you spend your time—shifting it away from some things, and toward others. While you can’t do every thing, you can always do something.

This workbook is set up to help you take action. Packed full of prompts for self-reflection and useful organizational tips and tools, its aim is to give you every thing you need to think on paper and bring about real improvements in performance. It just might change your life.

Besides exercises that align with the key principles from Eat That Frog!, the workbook periodically includes the example of Shane, a narrative character introduced in the following section, working through her own struggles with procrastination and productivity.

You’ll also find a Digital Resources page in the back of the workbook with a link to free charts and graphs from the chapter exercises. Print them out and use them again and again. You may also use the workbook in conjunction with the Eat That Frog! Video Training Program, which presents each chapter of the Eat That Frog! book and invites you to do the exercises in the workbook before moving on to the next lesson.

Without further ado, take action. Get more done. Eat that frog!
