Burnout and Solutions

"Energy, not time, is the fundamental currency of high performance."

Forever starved for time, we try to fit everything into each day. But managing time by itself is not the answer. The energy you bring to the table matters too.This is the power of full engagement. Every one of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors has an energy consequence. The ultimate measure of our lives is not how much time we spend on the planet, but rather how much energy we invest in the time that we have.

The Power of Full Engagement

"The number of hours in a day is fixed, but the quantity and quality of energy available to us is not. It is our most precious resource. The more we take responsibility for the energy we bring to the world, the more empowered and productive we become. The more we blame others or external circumstances, the more negative and compromised our energy is likely to be."

<ul><li>Principle 1: Full engagement requires drawing on four separate but related sources of energy: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.</li><li>Principle 2: Because energy capacity diminishes both with overuse and underuse, we must balance energy expenditure with intermittent energy renewal.</li><li>Principle 3: To build capacity, we must push beyond our normal limits, training in the same systematic way that elite athletes do.</li><li>Principle 4: Positive energy rituals—highly specific routines for managing energy— are the key to full engagement and sustained high performance.</li></ul>
