Energy Awareness and Management

Developing a keen awareness of energy levels throughout the week can prevent burnout and enhance overall productivity. Utilizing an energy calendar to categorize activities by their impact on personal energy—green for energizing, yellow for neutral, and red for draining—allows for insightful reflections at the week's end. By analyzing this data, one can identify and minimize energy-draining activities, such as excessive Zoom calls, through isolation, tweaking, or elimination strategies. This method fosters a healthier balance of energy-giving and energy-sapping tasks, leading to improved flow and faster progress in both personal and professional life.
