Habit 7? • So what is sharpen the saw about? • Imagine you are walking in the forest. You see someone furiously cutting down a tree with a saw. • You ask him how long he has been at it. He says 4 hours, but that he is really making progress • You notice that his saw looks dull, you suggest he take a break and sharpen it. • He says “I cant, I’m too busy sawing”.
Habit 7 • The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shinning. (JFK) • How is this similar to the cutting down the tree story? • Just like anything in life, we need to practice and fine tune things – we need to sharpen our “saws”!

Brainstorm what skills we need to maintain and how we can do this! We will do the soul as a class!
