My Kind of Music

Each individual has his or hew own preference with music. Some people love it with an upbeat mode, some enjoys eclectic and progressive types, some goes for the sexy mood, and most go with the trend. People create their own culture through music. Indeed it is an influential tool in molding and motivating a person. “Eat That Frog” hums a tune of success. Without a doubt, that is my kind of music.

Hocus Pokus Need to Focus

“Hocus Pocus Need To Focus” used to be my status in yahoo messenger or skype when I am crammed up with a lot of very important daily tasks and just doesn’t want to be disturbed. But, with Brian Tracy’s book, “Eat That Frog!” it facilitated my focus only to important things. What I usually do when I am jam-packed, I get my blackberry and start planning and prioritizing the tasks by using the “ABCDE Rule”. After spending 15 minutes by planning quickly, I now have a game plan.

“Eat That Frog!” made my life easier and organized. Now, I changed my usual status with “EAT THAT FROG MATE!” to keep me on track and remind myself to become focused only to those fat “frogs”.

My Vision: An Ocean of Frogeaters

I come from a successful and influential social class and now found my passion – living a philanthropic lifestyle for more than 5 years now. I underwent a lot to seep away from my parents’ shadows and learned the most valuable things in life hands-on. Most people say that I was like Gautama. But, I say that if only I can leave a legacy by planting the most valuable skill for everyone to be successful and achieve equality, I would do it in my own humble and diligent way. I was in an expedition of seeking that powerful ‘seed’ to success – that led me to Brian Tracy’s book, “Eat That Frog!” Success is for everyone who knows how to practice discipline. I am now in a local stadium enjoying ‘footy’. I see the vast number of people also experiencing the same thing I was experiencing – the adrenalin of the game. As people cheered with every goal and booed with a mishap, I felt that intense flow of energy. At a split second, I caught myself in a state of reflection. I told my assistant, “My vision mate, is to produce an ocean of Frog Eaters.” As soon as we got in my car, he asked me, “Where do we start sir?” and I gladly answered back, “Let’s first eat our frogs!”

Hitting 6 Frogs With 1 Stone

Today is a Tuesday and I’m still on a high.
You must be intrigued how I did that right? 7 birds with 1 stone is simple. It’s just a matter of knowing how to “Eat That Frog!” For the record, it all happened last night.

I am currently organizing a benefit event due next month – that’s my passion. But, I also do have a regular 8-hour day job. Of course I cannot bring my passion at work because it will keep me unfocused. I don’t even want that to happen. It’s my way of balancing things. I am sometimes tempted but I don’t entertain on taking the risk. Anyways, I started my day right. I did what Brian Tracy tells in his book “Eat That Frog!” – organize and plan your day ahead.
So, I basically spent only 4 hours the recent weekend on planning my week. With that habit, it saved me more time right now and I can now juggle two responsibilities (my day job and the upcoming event) with focus. So, I did the usual ‘frogs’ in my day job and ended it with flare. I was also swamped with a task to meet-up with the bar owner by 8 p.m. last night to update each other about the progress of the event. So, I went to the bar and met up with the bar owner. The first bird was the bar owner.

Now, as I went around the bar to do some ocular inspection, a guy from afar was screaming my name. I didn’t see him clearly because the entire place was dim. So, I approached his table and saw that it was one of my event sponsors. He was with his 2 guests from other states and introduced me. By catching up with each other, I utilized my charms and chatted about the upcoming event. He then committed for a major sponsorship as well as, his other guests who were apparently marketing heads of reputable companies. Whoa! I got 3 birds in one sitting.

Partial total number of birds = 4. I am actually enjoying the spontaneity of the night.

Now, as I left their table, I saw the band manager for my event sitting alone. Since my adrenalin was still high, I was in the verge of closing deals. I went to his table. He was surprised when he saw me since we haven’t seen each other for the longest time. We updated each other and closed a pretty good deal – another bird down.

When I was about to leave the bar, the bar owner called and asked me to stay for a while. I wasn’t in a hurry so I stayed. She then introduced me to the Regional head of a global beverage company who was sitting on an intimidating group of CEOs and high positioned personalities. He looked at me straight in the eye and asked me briefly about my upcoming benefit event. I started with the event beneficiary, the concept, the target market and their mileage. He smiled back looking convinced and asked me to fax a letter to his personal office line and follow it up two weeks before the event. I was lucky to be given the opportunity to discuss my concept informally. By applying the principles of “Eat That Frog”, it made my informal presentation concise and straight to the point. I really came out of my shell. I now consider the 6th bird down.

With a “stone” (goal), all 6 birds went down. Now, I have to prioritize which task to do first. But, I don’t feel the need to fret for I am brought to light by Brian Tracy’s book, “Eat That Frog!”

My Mum's Errands

My mum woke me up by calling at 5 am and asked me to do a bunch of ‘last minute’ favors. I basically had to run her errands since she’s not feeling well. She also imposed the tasks to be completed since; she cannot attend on these before leaving for Norway in two days. Before hanging up I asked her if I could let someone do it for me, and she gladly agreed as long as, everything will be accomplished. Her errands, by the way, I call as ‘pick-ups’:



* Pick-up her friend from the airport who was arriving from Sydney
* Pick-up the spring rolls she ordered from a friend and bring it back her house
* Pass by Aunt Ruby’s house for her luggage – which was borrowed from her
* And lastly, bring her 2 Labradors “Missy & Jicko” in a local kennel inn


What a disaster!

If I was the ‘me’ before learning about the book, “Eat That Frog!”, all my anticipated frogs for today will be growing fatter and uglier. Though I don’t intend not to eat it or might just procrastinate and say "later" and probably never get 'round to it. I’m torn! Now, my adrenalin rushes through my system. With the glibness of my tongue, I guess I can make something sound really true. But, that wasn’t taught in Brian Tracy’s book, “Eat That Frog!” neither do I want to do it. So, I have no choice but to deliver my previous engagements and my mum’s errands a.k.a. “HER FROGS”. Owning somebody else’s ‘frogs’ aren’t exciting but extremely challenging. I juggled all the frogs with focus, determination, and skill topped with reversed psych excitement and management. Isn’t it a game plan? So, what I did:
* I called my assistant and advised her to come over my house before 9 a.m. to use my other vehicle as her mode of transportation in running my mum’s errands and,
* Gave her my extra credit card (for emergency purposes)


I have been mastering the art of delegating through Brian Tracy’s ‘Eat That Frog!’ By delegating your so-called ‘tadpoles’, your productivity rate and performance won’t be harmed. If I was the same old girl before, I’d practically do everything myself and just procrastinate.

By the way, I got my free Ebook at http://www.eatthatfrog.com.au Check it yourself! It’s really stirring and advantageous.

Juggling The Frogs According To Size

I ended my hectic Monday by sorting out and starting to enumerate the ‘Frogs’ I need to eat for tomorrow. I planned ahead of time, which I got used to doing after reading Brian Tracey’s book, “Eat That Frog!” 3 months ago. By far, I’m enjoying the benefits of the discipline by being more productive and time efficient.
Anyway, here’s a stack of what I need to accomplish tomorrow:

* I need to report to the clinic by 9 am
* Lunch conference with our head nurse
* 2 Home Visitations
* An hour Career talks at my sister’s symposium about First-Aid Emergency Procedures in the afternoon
* Pick-up the kids by 5pm

Though I usually let my assistant plan my day, I now enjoy the liberty of doing so. She now runs other errands for me. I personally started doing it for discipline and my determination to stop procrastination, which I was guilty of. I now have the skill and knowledge so why not apply it? Time management is very essential when you’re in the medical profession. A split second is someone’s life.

Going back to my day, everything was well planned. Everything was scheduled. By applying the principles of Brian Tracey’s book, “Eat That Frog”, I meticulously followed the basic steps like:

* Thinking on Paper
* Planning your day ahead
* Goal setting
* Implementation
* Observing deadlines
* And using the 80-20 rule to basically manage my time

Our profession in the medical field comes in different schedules that’s why knowing what to prioritize first is very essential in rendering our care. I can say that “Eat That Frog!” is a masterpiece in helping everyone who needs to develop time management in reaching success. The more we focus and prioritize, the more effective we become as professionals.
