Eat that Frog Chapter 1 Notes

I'm reading chapter 1 of Eat that Frog, titled "Set the Table".  These are my notes:

  • There is one quality that one must pisses to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants and a burning desire to achieve it. - Napoleon Hill
  • Clarity is perhaps the most important concept in personal productivity.
  • Here is a great rule for success:
    • Think on paper.
  • Power formula for setting and achieving goals, which consists of seven steps.
  • Step One: Decide exactly what you want.
    • One of the very worst uses of time is to do something very well that need not be done at all.
    • Before you begin scrambling up the ladder of success, make sure that it is leaning against the right building.
  • Step Two: Write it down.
  • Step Three: Set a deadline on your goal; set sub deadlines if necessary.
  • Step Four: Make a list of everything that you can think of that you are going to have to do to achieve your goal.
  • Step Five: Organize the list into a plan.
  • Step Six: Take action on your plan immediately.
  • Step Seven: Resolve to do something every single day that moves you towards y our major goal.
    • Never miss a day.
