EP 365 - We get quite Zen this week, talking to Energy Management specialist Simon Alexander Ong, not about heat pumps, solar panels or the national grid, but about how optimising your own energy levels are the key to personal and professional success.

Simon talks to us about how energy management not time management is the key to personal productivity. Why laying out and sticking to a system for living is far more important than setting out individual goals, and the benefits of problem solving like pre-schoolers.

Star Wars also makes a brief appearance in the chat.
