Energy Management

Notes from The Productivity Show | Why Time Management Doesn’t Work & Why You Should Focus on Energy Instead (TPS142)

The best time management system is worthless if you don’t have the energy to work on it. Energy has four components:

Physical

Emotional

Mental

Spiritual

You need dedicated recovery time in each of these areas.

General notes:

Life is not a marathon, it is a series of sprints.

You probably won’t see results from individual exercise sessions, especially when you first start. But it compounds over time.

Tips for increasing energy:

Get enough sleep

Eat clean

Take strategic breaks. (Watching TV or listening to podcasts is not actually a mental break)

Establish rituals

Know your why. Understand your purpose.

Give to others.
