After all, successful people don't try to do everything. They focus on their most important tasks and get those done. They eat their frogs. There's an old saying that if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you're done with the worst thing you'll have to do all day. For Tracy, eating a frog is a metaphor for tackling your most challenging task—but also the one that can have the greatest positive impact on your life.

Eat That Frog! Personal and professional improvement is one of the best time savers there is. The better you are at a key task, the more motivated you are to launch into it. The better you are, the more energy and enthusiasm you have. When you know that you can do a job well, you find it easier to overcome procrastination and get the job done faster and better than under any other circumstances.

One piece of information or one additional skill can make an enormous difference in your ability to do the job well. Identify the most important things you do and then make a plan to continually upgrade your skills in those areas. Refuse to allow a weakness or a lack of ability in any area to hold you back.

Everything'in business is learnable. And what others have learned, you can learn as well. When I began to write my first book, I was discouraged because I could use only the "hunt-andpeck" method of typing. I soon realized that I had to learn to touch-type if I was ever going to write and rewrite a page book. So I bought a touch-typing program for my computer and practiced for twenty to thirty minutes every day for three months. By the end of that time, I was typing forty to fifty words per minute.

With this skill, I have been able to write a dozen books that have now been published all over the world. The best news is that you can learn whatever skills you need to be more productive and more effective.

You can become a touch typist if necessary. You can become an expert with a computer. You can become a terrific negotiator or a super salesperson. You can learn to speak in public. You can learn to write effectively and well.
