One of his most famous stories was when he confessed to his father to damaging a cherry tree, famously saying, "I cannot tell a lie." This story has contributed to Washington's reputation for honesty. But did you know that Washington was also highly productive? Washington was a very organized person who believed that careful planning and scheduling were essential to achieving his goals. He usually divided his day into fixed blocks of time and assigned specific tasks to each one. During his presidency, for example, Washington would usually get up around 5 or 6 a.m. and spend the first two hours of his day reading and responding to letters and other correspondence. He would then groom himself and eat breakfast before devoting the next several hours to official business, such as meetings with advisors and staff, signing documents, and reviewing reports. In the afternoons, Washington would devote time to personal matters, such as his Mount Vernon farm or other personal projects. He also believed in the significance of physical activity and would often ride his horse or go for a walk in the afternoon. In the evenings, he would usually have dinner with his family or guests before going to bed around 9 or 10 p.m. Overall, Washington's schedule was highly structured and organized, with specific blocks of time devoted to various tasks and activities, allowing him to maximize his productivity and meet his goals.
