There’s an old fable about a couple of lumberjacks in a tree-cutting contest. The first picked up a rusty axe and ran into the woods immediately to start chopping trees. The second spent almost until the end of the contest sharpening his axe. After which he walked up and quickly felled the biggest tree.
What’s the moral of the story? Don’t use dull, rusty tools.
Don’t waste your time doing things you don’t intend to be excellent at. Delegate them to someone who does have a sharper tool. And for the skills you do want to master, make it a priority to sharpen your tool beyond what is necessary to cut. Skill saves time.
