Eat That Frog (Brian Tracy)

Mark Twain (probably) said that if you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day. Brian Tracy turned this into a productivity system: identify your most important, most dreaded task — your "frog" — and do it first. Before email. Before meetings. Before the day's chaos starts. Tracy's rationale is that willpower is finite and mornings have the most of it, so front-loading the hardest work gives your most important task your best energy. The book is 128 pages. The method is one sentence. That's the point.
