Show Notes
Most productivity advice focuses on time. But here's the problem: an hour when you're depleted is not the same as an hour when you're sharp.
Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz's research revealed something counterintuitive: the best performers don't work longer—they work in cycles. High intensity followed by real recovery. They manage energy like athletes, not machines.
Your energy comes from four sources: Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual. Neglect any one, and the others suffer.
Today's Practice: Audit your energy, not just your time. Put deep work in peak hours. Put admin in valleys. Protect recovery like you protect deadlines.
Master the mind. Your life will follow.
