Boost your productivity by managing your energy (not your time)

To preserve your energy, focus on starting one "type" of task and finish it before moving onto the next.

You can even organize your days for various kinds of tasks to keep the different types of energy contained.

We usually find ourselves energized when things "go right" in our lives. When things don't go well, we tend to let our circumstances consume our energy.

To self-source your energy, make time to meet your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

When we say "yes" to something we should have declined, we use energy on something that will drain us.

Learn to offer a polite and respectful "no" when it is necessary.

Take a break from social media or minimize screen time. It will likely remind you that you are not as busy as you feel you are - your brain is just working overtime when you're mindlessly scrolling.

When we're looking at a beautiful lake, we feel peaceful because there is very low "data input" coming into our brains. When we're always on our cellphones, our minds are continually swamped with data.

Energy drains from us when we are indecisive. 'Should I go to the gym now or this afternoon? '

Instead, create a routine and stick to it. Make an exercise schedule and flip a coin for what to wear.
