The right tools = better outcome/ less effort

I want you to imagine building a home using only one saw.  The saw is an old rusty, wore out hand saw. Imagine using this saw for the thousands of cuts that are made to complete a home.  What would you experience? Extremely difficult work. Slow and frustrating work. Lots and lots of sweat! What would be the results?  I’m not sure that there would be a single accurate cut. All the imperfect cuts would lead to joints that are not exact. The home in the end might, in fact, sway in the wind due to all the imperfect joints.  This is not the formula I want to follow in any area of my life. Lots of effort, work and pain AND poor outcomes. I prefer less effort, more efficient work AND excellent outcomes!
