Incorporating time into our schedules for "renewal" activities (sharpening the saw) will not be easy. It's very Quadrant II-esque, and difficult at first to make time for it. But, I think when a person begins to see the benefits of living like that, it will become easier, because you will find yourself having more time.
This is why crafting a mission statement is important. When "renewing" yourself, it will be important to consult your mission, and make sure your life is congruent with your principles.
In this chapter, Covey points out how important a true focus on the self is. But he doesn't end without emphasizing the cruciality of "scripting others." This is especially important for ROTC and the Army, because we as MSIIIs, MSIVs, and officers will have a lot of influence over subordinates. Let's script them well.
