The other day while sauntering through Kabuki’s Forgotten War: 1931 - 1945, by James R. Brandon, we came across two witty work slogans used in World War II to encourage Japanese workers. They’re good too, perhaps, for encouraging you and me to make war on our stubborn personal projects, getting them done at the cost of all else (e.g., to finish writing a book, or the six-year project of professors to achieve academic tenure).
The one:
No Personal Desires until Victory.
The other:
Monday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Friday.
