The Distinction Between Time and Energy

Understanding the difference between time and energy is crucial for improving one's life. Time is a fixed resource that everyone has equally, while energy fluctuates and can be harnessed more effectively. For instance, one can be physically present for an hour but not truly engaged, resulting in little value from that time. In contrast, dedicating just 15 minutes with full energy and intent can yield far greater results than hours of distracted, low-energy engagement.
