Eat That Frog- Obey the Law of Forced Efficient

I have read the book ‘Eat That Frog’, Here is a snippet that I could get from the chapter ‘Obey the Law of Forced Efficient’:

There will never be enough time to do everything you have to do, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing.

What are my highest value activities?
You must be crystal clear about your highest value activities before you begin work.

What can I and only I do that, if done well, will make a real difference?
Your job is to be clear about the answer and then to start and work on this task before anything else.

What is the most valuable use of my time right now?
Your most powerful thinking tool for success is your ability to discriminate between one priority and another. Take a few minutes each day and fix this first.

    Eat That Frog- Focus On Key Result Areas

    I have read the book ‘Eat That Frog’, Here is a snippet that I could get from the sixth chapter ‘Focus On Key Result Areas’:


    • Identify the key result areas of your work. 
    • ASK: What one skill, if I developed and did it in an excellent fashion, would have the greatest positive impact on my career?" Because, your weakest key result area sets the height at which you can use all your other skills and abilities. Your poor performance in the one key area can hold you back. 
    • The better you become in a particular skill area, the more motivated you will be to perform that function, the less you will procrastinate.

    Eat That Frog-Plan Every Day in Advance

    I have read the book ‘Eat That Frog’, Here is a snippet that I could get from the second chapter ‘Plan Every Day in Advance ’:

    • How do you eat an elephant? The answer, of course, is “One bite at a time!”  
    • You break it down into specific step-by-step activities and then you start on the first one. 
    • Begin today to plan every day, week, and month in advance. 
      • Make your list the night before. 
      • A monthly list that you make up at the end of the month for the month ahead.
      • A weekly list where you plan your entire week in advance. 
      • Always work from a list. When something new comes up, add it to the list before you do it.

    Eat That Frog - Practice the ABCDE Method Continually

    I have read the book ‘Eat That Frog’, Here is a snippet that I could get from the fifth chapter ‘Practice the ABCDE Method Continually’:


    The ABCDE Method is a powerful priority-setting technique that you can use every single day. A tadpole should never distract you, when a big frog is sitting there waiting to be eaten. 


    1. "A" item is defined as something that is very important. If you have more than one "A" task, you prioritize these tasks by writing A-1, A- 2, A-3, and so on.
    2. "B" item is defined as a task that you should do. But it has only mild consequences.

    3. "C" task is defined as something that would be nice to do.
    4. "D" task is defined as something you can delegate to someone else.
    5. "E" task is defined as something that you can eliminate altogether. It is something you continue to do out of habit or because you enjoy it.

    Eat That Frog - Consider the Consequences

    I have read the book ‘Eat That Frog’, Here is a snippet that I could get from the fourth chapter ‘Consider the Consequences ’:



    1. Long-time perspective turns out to be more important than any other single factor in determining your success in life and at work.

    2. Always ask yourself, "What are the potential consequences of doing or not doing this task?"

    3. Failures do what is tension relieving, while winners do what is goal achieving.

    4. For example, coming into work earlier, reading regularly in your field, taking courses to improve your skills, and focusing on high-value tasks in your work will all combine to have an enormous positive impact on your future.
    On the other hand, coming into work at the last moment, reading the newspaper, drinking coffee, and socializing with your coworkers may seem fun and enjoyable in the short term.

    Eat That Frog - Apply the 80/20 Rules to Everything

    I have read the book ‘Eat That Frog’, Here is a snippet that I could get from the third chapter ‘Apply the 80/20 Rules to Everything ’:

    1.20 percent of your activities will account for 80 percent of your results.

    2.One item on a list of ten tasks that you have to do can be worth more than all the other nine items put together. This task is invariably the frog that you should eat first.

    3.Always ask yourself, "Is this task in the top 20 percent of my activities or in the bottom 80 percent?”

    4.Resist the temptation to clear up small things first. The task comes under 20 percent could be easy or hard. The fact is that the amount of time required to complete an important job is often the same as the time required to do an unimportant job.
