There just isn't enough time for everything on our to-do list—and there never will be. Successful people don't try to do everything. They learn to focus on the most important tasks and make sure those get done. They eat their frogs. 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. Brian Tracy cuts to the core of what is vital to effective time management: decision, discipline and determination. This life-changing book will ensure that you get more of your important tasks done—today!

I re-read this every couple of years. Chock full of really great ideas on how to stop procrastination. Pickup something new each time.
Good productivity book for people who don't like productivity books. Short, actionable chapters that will introduce you to a bunch of different methods for getting and staying focused.
Audiobook
Some really good points on overcoming procrastination and anxiety associated with large, intimidating tasks. He also had some sections that were no longer relevant (like trying to be disconnected in our current world) and some off putting comments (like be more productive by coming to work earlier, staying later, not talking with coworkers).
Overall, good read and would reccomend to those that struggle getting started when the task seems intimidating.
