Julian the Reformer

Julian managed to get a lot done in his short life.  It's a shame he didn't write a book on time management, I'd love to know how he was so productive, but he did write a lot.  Its a shame that more of his writings haven't survived.  They aren't as well written as the works of Caesar or Marcus Aurelius and his choice of subject matter isn't particularly compelling.  But nonetheless you can still pick up his intelligence and perceptiveness. I get the feeling that he would have been pretty successful at anything to which he turned his mind. Getting to be the emperor of Rome was a bit of a lottery, but it was the kind of level that Julian was quite capable of handling.
