Is Your Saw Sharp? It’s Time to Sharpen Your Saw!

Is Your Saw Sharp?
Sharpen The Saw is the # 7th Habit in Stephen Covey’s bestselling book – The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
In explaining the 7th Habit, Covey tells the story of a wood cutter who spent hours sawing away at a tree. He was strained and exhausted. A young man walks up to him and asked him what he was doing. He responded- isn’t it obvious, I am cutting down the tree. The young man says- you look tired, why don’t you sharpen the saw. Why don’t you rest?
The old man responded- I don’t have to sharpen my saw. I don’t have time to rest.
I have to cut down this tree.

I don’t know about you, but I have shown up as this woodcutter in both my personal and professional life to the detriment to myself.

So, my question for you is- Are your that woodcutter? Do you need to sharpen your saw?
