Okay, who thinks this has anything to do with chopping down a tree? Maybe it's about always keeping your axes sharp?
I think it is about being prepared for the task ahead. If you have a project to complete or problem to solve and are running on a deadline, it pays to take some time to prepare so you are not working out the solution on the fly.
Bottom line... being prepared will help you accomplish your tasks more easily.
