Sharpening the saw

In Stephen Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People the last habit he talks about is sharpening the saw. Basically after learning the other habits and putting them into practice, you always need to take a look at what you are doing and make sure you are doing it to the best of your ability. It is taking the time to step back from where you are and assessing how it worked or didn't work.

We are getting ready to head out to Washington DC to do some saw sharpening tomorrow. National Community Church, one of the first theater churches and a very helpful church in our own transition to a theater, is putting on a conference to discuss what we are all doing and what we have all found that works and doesn't work. This is going to be an open source conference where all of us will share with each other. Should be a lot of fun!

Anyway, I take off from my place here around 0300 (ACK!) tomorrow morning, and I'm not sure how internet access will be back in DC...it might be a bit dodgy. If we have access there, I'll be sure to blog about it while we are there otherwise I'll hold off until my return. I do know they are having a bloggers breakfast one of the days...I might be there for that one!
