Finding Balance: Managing Internal Energy for Productivity

This chapter explores the concept of creating margin in one's life by likening it to the different gears in a car, where individuals operate at varying paces. It emphasizes the importance of not constantly being in overdrive to prevent burnout, and highlights practices like focused work cycles and sabbaticals to maintain well-being.
