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. The method works because willpower is finite and mornings have the most of it. Every productivity study confirms that decision fatigue erodes performance throughout the day. By front-loading the hardest work, you guarantee your most important task gets your best energy. The book is 128 pages. The method is one sentence. That's the point.
