It is a great book, a great read. is the type of book that must be put into practice. Is that type of book that should be taught in schools worldwide.
So in short-
Decide exactly what you want; in life, clarity is essential. Plan every day in advance; every minute you spend in planning can save you five or ten minutes in execution. Twenty percent of your activities will account for eighty percent of your results. Always focus your efforts on that top twenty percent. Lastly, Your most important tasks and priorities are those that can have the most serious consequences, positive or negative, on your life or work. Concentrate on these above anything else.
Before you start work on a list of tasks, take a few minutes to arrange them by value and priority so you can be sure of working on your essential activities.

Definitely a good start to any new year is this little book of very wise advice. It explains complicated ways of thinking very simply and joyfully. If you have goals but not sure how to get to your destination, then this is definitely the book for you. Makes a lovely coffee table book as well and you can read it numerous times, every time you will read something new.
This book is a concised copy of all the management text books. You can't excel at a subject just by adding "eat that frog" in it. There was so little about procrastinating and alot about making talk lists. The "think on paper" thing is so overused in this book and everything is repeated like a hundred times. We can't expect this attitude from self-help books...
