I heard a story from a friend of mine who is really good at telling short stories. There were 2 people A and B and they were working on cutting logs. A did not rest at all and worked through for eight hours. B was taking a break every half hour for ten minutes.
At the end of the day B had cut more logs than A. A asked B how despite being lazy he cut more logs. He responded that when he was resting he was sharpening the saw. This fits in very well with the sharpening the saw concept written by Stephen Covey in Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Stephen Covey talks about renewing the four dimensions of our nature physical, spiritual, mental and social/emotional. We should take time to sharpen the saw to be more effective.
