We just finished memorizing Work by Anonymous and I wish we had memorized it years ago!
It has been applied over and over again since we first read it and it has been encouraging them to create good habits, specifically, the habit of attention. We have had fun changing it to apply to specific scenarios – “eat while you eat!” “run while you run!”
Work, by Anonymous
Work while you work,
Play while you play,
This is the way
To be happy each day.
All that you do,
Do with your might;
Things done by halves
Are never done right.
