Sharpen the Saw

Sharpen the Saw is the seventh habit in Stephen R. Covey's influential framework from 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

' It emphasizes the importance of continuous self-renewal and self-care across four key dimensions: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual.

The habit teaches that regularly investing time in renewing these areas increases personal effectiveness, prevents burnout, and enhances one's capacity to handle life's challenges.

Covey uses the metaphor of sharpening a saw to illustrate how taking time to refresh oneself leads to better performance and greater influence in all roles of life.
