You don't walk into the booth with a dull blade and expect to cut. Real ones sharpen before the session, not during it. The grind don't care about your excuses — it cares about what you bring to the table.
Every line of code, every post, every rep is a swing. A dull axe means you swing twice as hard for half the result. So take the morning. Tune the tools. Study the craft. Get your mind right before the world starts throwing punches.
Preparation isn't soft — it's the most violent thing you can do to your competition, because they're still sleeping while you're already sharpening. Show up ready and the work gets easier. Show up raw and the work eats you alive.
Sharpen the axe. Then go cut.
