    Useful for Procrastinators

    The Smarter Comics version of "Eat That Frog" by Brian Tracy is a fun way to tackle the problem that many people have with putting things off until the very last minute. The book teaches you to complete the big tasks first so you can eliminate them from your to-do list, thus making the rest of your day easier by putting the hard stuff behind you. This is a very good book that is easy to read and delivers a good message to anyone that reads it, especially the youth of today.

    Instructive Message Delivered in a Fun Manner

    If you have a problem with procrastination, "Eat That Frog" is a definite must-read to overcome dragging your feet. This self-help book by Brian Tracy teaches readers to determine what is the most important tasks that need to be accomplished for the day and to set out to fulfil the accomplishment of those tasks. The usage of a comic book style book makes it a much easier delivery to get the point across to the reader in a fun manner, while still delivering an instructive message.

    Prioritize, Don't Procrastinate!

    Eat that Frog from SmarterComics is a full-blown package of entertainment that will empower readers to avoid procrastination and notice more fluidity in their behavior and the manner in which they complete their daily tasks. Essentially a self-help book focused on helping individuals "conquer their most difficult tasks first," Eat that Frog will train the mind to complete the most daunting tasks first and remove it from their daily "To-Do" list. The original, best-selling book by Brian Tracy and Eat that Frog by SmarterComics cut right to the chase, stating that the book/comic is about improving time management skills, discipline, and decision making-three factors that can profoundly change the landscape of one's life. The book revolves around the dichotomy of P's: procrastination versus prioritizing one's responsibilities. Eat that Frog from SmarterComics is fun, engaging, and is meaningful for a variety of ages-especially youth.

    Very Helpful

    Eat That Frog from Smarter Comics is a self-help display, which will steer readers in the correct direction of success. There is definitely a humorous touch of how Brian Tracy gets his point across and it is quite brilliant. I'm sure there are plenty of readers stuck in the typical sense of dressing for success and being only intellectually ready. However, Brian Tracey shows us that managing our time is the true way of success. We must that procrastinate. In addition, I've always been a fan of Smarter Comics. It's always fun to read the comic layout of literature.
