    I'm the exact opposite of this. I spend so much time sharpening my axe that I sometimes forget to use it.

    If i had 6 hours to chop down a tree. I would spend the first 4 hours sharpening the ax.

      I would rather go by the 80\20 rule. So 1 hour sharpening and 4 hour working. The sharpening of a tool is only used to set the direction you want to go in. The working is where the true learning happens, it is here that we try and fail, therefore learn.

    omg, this is so true, we are so busy doing things that we care about, we work hard to achieve them but when we fail by the same amount of hard work or don't progress we saturate so , take a step back and think about what is wrong or what can we learn new about our work this is how we progress :)

    Good vid. Tip: LESS is used for non specific values. e.g. less time, less rain/wind/snow, less motivation etc. As opposed to FEWER, which is used for distinguishable items, e.g. fewer trees, fewer dogs, fewer people care about language these days. Keep up the good work.

    I've spent all my time sharpening my axe that it has turned into a chainsaw but I'm still scared to chop down the trees because I don't know how the techniques of how to make the tree fall a certain direction or how to cut properly and I feel like I'm, going to injure myself. (I have knowledge and basic skills but I don't have the practical skills that actually allow me to start making money)
