Here’s this week’s update for Sun-Tzu Sunday. Sun-Tzu was a military strategist of ancient China. Every Sunday this summer, I’ve presented an excerpt from his treatise The Art of War. This week’s passage is the series finale, and comes from the seventh chapter entitled The Fray.
The soldier’s spirit
Is keenest
In the morning;
By noon
It has dulled;
By evening
He has begun
To think of home.
Boy, Sun-Tzu hit it right on the head with that one. I’m way more productive in the morning. It coincides with my scripted to-do list, as I hit the ground running. The early bird gets the worm. Late in the day, I’ve usually had enough, and I begin planning out the next day.
How about you? Are you more productive in the morning, or are you a strong finisher?
