So, what is exactly is sharpening your axe? It simply means increasing your personal production capacity by daily self care and self maintenance. Most people fail to understand what it means and mistake it for taking a break or vacation. If you are overworking yourself and your productivity drops, take a break. However that isn't sharpening the axe - that's putting the axe down.
When you put down a dull blade and rest, the blade will still be dull when you pick it up. The woodcutter does need downtime to rest, but it is not `sharpening the axe'. The woodcutter only becomes more productive by sharpening his blade, analyzing new wood cutting techniques, exercising to become stronger, and learning from other woodcutter. That is what is mean by sharpening the axe.
Something for sharing.
