The Function Of Tools
What is a tool? To me it's something that you can use to help make what you are doing:
- Possible
- Easier to make/create
- Better Quality
A tool can be just about anything. A hammer. A software program. A checklist. A system.
Tools can also be used for functions that they were not designed for. How many times have you used a butter knife as a screwdriver? Maybe a pocket knife as a prybar. A wordprocessor as a presentation program? A credit card as a car window snow scraper?
Tools can be used and misused in a variety of ways we can only imagine.
But in most cases, it is best to use a tool that was designed for the function we want to perform. It's not optimal to drive a nail into wood with a travel coffee mug. It's silly to shovel snow with a serving spoon. Both will work, but far from optimally.
What tools do you use in your life?
Perhaps it's time to take an inventory of your tools and see if you have the right ones for the jobs that you are performing.
Could the wrong tools be holding you back from your best work?
If so...it's time to obtain and use the best tool(s) for the job(s) you do.
