What Would Abraham Lincoln Do? ( Lincoln’s Axe: The Preparation vs. Action Mental Model )

Lincoln's Axe is a mental model based on a quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln where he says, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe"

The idea behind Lincoln's Axe is a model on the importance of preparation which would be the time spent on strategy or the sharpening of the axe, before performing the tactics of the activity itself or the chopping down of the tree.
