About this listen
How we spend our time is one of the greatest indicators of how successful we will be. We achieve our goals when we ruthlessly prioritize tasks and people that are important to us. If we focus our time, energy, and attention on the wrong things, we will never achieve the success or happiness that we aspire to. The problem is that these wrong things, the low-value, low-impact tasks that distract us from our priorities, are hard to ignore.
They scream out at us all day: digital distractions, other people's urgent demand for “five minutes” that's never five minutes, the meetings that you shouldn't be in, the pointless email chains, the reports you write that don't get read. We get a dopamine hit from ticking these tasks off a list. It's got us hooked on crazy busyness. But all we are doing is scratching off a layer of fake work on top of the real valuable work. The Crazy Busy Cure is full of intensely practical tips to save people from this addiction and become productive again. Jammed with practical productivity solutions to use immediately, it introduces concepts that will help you manage other people's work as well as your own - and that apply to working virtually as well.

Story
Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon.

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! shows you how to organize each day so you can zero in on these critical tasks and accomplish them efficiently and effectively.

Sometimes, it feels as if we are in a constant state of go. We are busy. And while some wear their busyness as a badge of honor, it often exacts a high price. Maintaining a balanced rhythm in life is more than filling a calendar with activities. Rhythm isn’t about doing more things; rhythm is about doing the right things.
