Sharpening The Pencil To Dust

I am sharpening a pencil to dust.

An effective way to prevent rust.

To strike with a dull ax,

Far worse than the brass tax.

If it takes ten thousand hours to be a master,

Then I will just read outliers faster.

Then Stephen Covey for brunch

and Atomic Habits for lunch.

Newport stew with a side of H. Young tea

What has become of me?

Thinking fast and slow

has kept me from where I wanted to go.

I was so obessed with how

I forgot to start with why.

Why haven't I started yet?
