Eat That Frog!
1. Continually ask yourself these key questions: “What am I really
good at? What do I enjoy the most about my work? What has been
most responsible for my success in the past? If I could do any job at
all, what job would it be?”
If you won the lottery or came into an enormous amount of money,
and you could choose any job or any part of a job to do for the
indefinite future, what work would you choose?
2. Develop a personal plan to prepare yourself to do your most
important tasks in an excellent fashion. Focus on those areas where
you have special talents, and which you most enjoy doing. This is the
key to unlocking your personal potential.

CHAPTER 13
Identify Your Key Constraints
“Concentrate all your thoughts on the task at hand.
The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.”
Alexander Graham Bell
Between where you are today, and any goal or objective that you
want to accomplish, there is one major constraint that must be
overcome before you can achieve that major goal. Your job is to
identify it clearly.
Ask yourself these questions: What is holding you back? What sets
the speed at which you achieve your goals? What determines how
fast you move from where you are to where you want to go? What
stops you or holds you back from eating the frogs that can really
make a difference? Why aren’t you at your goal 
already
?
These are some of the most important questions you will ever ask
and answer achieving high levels of personal productivity and
effectiveness. Whatever you have to do, there is always a 
limiting
factor
that determines how quickly and well you get it done. Your job
is to study the task and identify the limiting factor or constraint
within it. You must then focus all of your energies on alleviating that
single chokepoint.
