Knowledge on execution also helps.
(1) Mel Robbins’s Nasa Countdown tactic
(2) The story of Sun Tzu and King’s concubines
1) Mel Robbins' 5 Second Rule is a technique that uses a countdown to help people take action instead of procrastinating or overthinking. The rule is to count down from five and then take action before zero. Robbins uses the rule to help her get out of bed in the morning, and to silence her worries about things like working out or a late project.
2) The story of Sun Tzu and the king's concubines is a well-known tale about the military strategist's temperament and his demonstration of the Art of War:
- The test
Before hiring Sun Tzu, the King of Wu tested his abilities by ordering him to train 180 concubines to become soldiers.- The execution
Sun Tzu divided the concubines into two companies, making the king's two favorite concubines the company commanders. When Sun Tzu ordered the concubines to face right, they giggled. Sun Tzu ordered them to be executed, despite the king's protests. Sun Tzu explained that if the soldiers understood the orders but did not follow them, it was the fault of the officers.- The result
New officers were chosen to replace the executed concubines. The companies performed their maneuvers flawlessly, knowing the consequences of further frivolity.
After looking these up I thought it would be worth sharing here for others to take in. Solid tactics. Action > Thought
