The Three P's: Play, Power, and People

The three P's, play, power, and people, are energizers that can be applied to anything to make it more enjoyable and productive. Play involves approaching work with a sense of lightness and ease, which can lead to increased productivity and creativity. Power combines autonomy and a sense of progress, even if one doesn't have control over what they do, they still have control over how they do it or their mindset. It's important to take responsibility and initiative in one's work, as doing so can lead to more enjoyment and energy, contrary to the belief that working harder drains one's energy. The more one gives to their work, the more energy they will have, which can be utilized for personal pursuits or to be more present for friends and family.
