Yes yes yes, I know Randy Pausch’s “The Last Lecture” video has been up on Youtube for a long, long time, but I’ve only seen the “short” version of it the last time I saw it and was like, wow, it’s good, and left it at that.

2 days ago, at MPH, I saw his new book on display, read a few pages and was blown away.

I came back home, found the transcript for his lecture, and spent about 2 hours today watching the complete video with the better half.

And I’m now a changed man

I’m now in the midst of watching his lecture on time management. At one point of time, he says that the way to overcome procrastination is to do the thing you hate first. If your task is to eat the frog, don’t spend so much time looking at the frog, and just eat it!

If you have 3 frogs to eat, eat the smallest one first!

I’ve heard that analogy before, and even actually read the book by Brian Tracy, Eat That Frog!, but now that I’m hearing it from the mouth of someone I’ve some to respect, I’ve decided to pause the video, come post a short post here, and go ahead to prepare my materials for my Management and Organization exam next week, and come back to his lecture soon

And before I go, here are some links you might be interested in. If you haven’t checked any of them out, I strongly urge you to do so!
