Are you constantly feeling drained despite managing your time effectively? Shift your focus to energy management for better productivity, well-being, and burnout prevention.
Stop just managing time; start managing your energy! Learn practical strategies for peak performance, well-being, and avoiding burnout.
Feeling stretched thin? Like you’re always chasing the clock, ticking off tasks, but still ending the day completely wiped out?
I know that feeling all too well.
For years, I lived by my calendar—scheduling every minute, optimising my workflow, and trying every time management trick I could find. I hit deadlines and got things done, but the cost was steep. I was productive, sure, but I was also exhausted, wired, and far from my best self.
It turns out time isn’t the real currency we should be managing.
Everyone gets the same 24 hours. What truly matters is the energy you bring to those hours.
You can have a perfectly scheduled day, but if your energy is in the basement, you won’t get meaningful work done. Or worse, you’ll push through, doing mediocre work and burning yourself out in the process.
Shifting my focus from time to energy changed everything. It’s not just about getting more done; it’s about doing your best work while feeling good and protecting your capacity to keep going without hitting a wall.
