Journal: Sharpening the Saw
After reviewing this week’s Readings and Resources, please answer the following journal questions supporting your work with evidence from the provided resources.
Covey’s 7th habit, Sharpening the Saw, is all about keeping your personal self “sharp.” It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of your life: your body, your brain, your heart, and your soul. You can’t even think about sharpening the saw when you’re always busy sawing.
· What is something you’d work on improving if you had the time?
· What is the best way to balance your brain? Body? Heart? Soul?
· What are some ways you can keep your saw sharp while in school and then also in your profession?
