Energy Management
Source: Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz (The Power of Full Engagement)
Performance depends on managing energy, not just time. Energy has physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions, and needs regular renewal.
When to use it
Use it when you have enough hours but feel too drained to use them well.
How to apply it
- Rate your current energy in physical, emotional, mental and spiritual terms.
- Identify activities and habits that drain each dimension.
- Identify activities that restore each dimension.
- Build short recovery breaks into your working day.
- Create one ritual to protect your weakest dimension.
Tip: Work in focused bursts followed by real breaks rather than long stretches without pause.
