Yes, this is "sharpening the saw". But we all know people who, despite boasting a lot about their extremely sharp saw, chop zero trees. Balance, in all things.

- josephg 3y ago> Balance, in all things. Maybe - but if so, also balance in being balanced. Sometimes "going hard" is needed to make a deadline. And sometimes when you're burned out, you need to do zero work for awhile. I think the better advice is something like: "Be present with the actual moment. Listen to the world and then take the right next action thats actually needed.". Sometimes the next action is sharpening the saw. Sometimes its playing with your kids, or taking a nap, or finally chopping that tree. Its impossible to know whats needed without being actually present with whats going on right now.
