Continuous Improvement

Sharpen The Saw is the last chapter of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and refers to working smarter not harder. The most simple example is cutting down a tree with a dull saw. It would take significantly more effort to fall a tree with a dull saw than it would if you stopped to sharpen your saw blade and proceeded to cut through the wood with less energy in a shorter amount of time. Don't confuse busy with productive.
