Brian Tracy - Eat That Frog - 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time
Step 1 - SET THE TABLE
There is one quality that one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants and a burning desire to achieve it - Napoleon Hill
•Here is a great rule for success: Think on paper
• only about 3 percent of adults have clear, written goals. these people accomplish five and ten times as much as people of equal or better education and ability but who, for whatever reason, have never taken the time to write out exactly what it is they want
•Step One - Decide exactly what you want •Step Two - Write it down •Step Three - Set a deadline on your goal •Step Four - Make a list of everything that you can think of that you are going to have to do to achieve your goal •Step Five - Organize the list into a plan •Step Six - Take action on your plan immediately •Step Seven - Resolve to do something every single day that moves you twoard your major goal
ASSIGNMENT - EAT THAT FROG
take a clean sheet of paper right now and make a list of ten goals you want to accomplish in the next year. write your goals as though a year has already passes and they are now a reality. use the present tense, positive, and first person so that they are immediately accepted by your subconscious mind.
for example, you would write. "i earn x number of dollars per year" or "i weight x number of pounds" or "i drive such and such a car."
then, go back over your list of ten goals and select the one goal that, if you achieved it, would have the greatest positive impact on your life. whatever that goal is, write it on a separate sheet of paper, set a deadline, make a plan, take action on your plan, and then do something every single day that moves you toward that goal. this exercise alone could change your life
