Energy Management
I was just reminded by a brilliant person on Linked In, that it is smarter to manage energy than to manage time.
I began to think back on a time when I learned the lesson of energy management the hard way and ended up in a severe health crisis, both mentally and physically. I was the Queen of Time Management and discipline, and I stuck to my schedule like a machine. I successfully managed my time, but very unsuccessfully managed my energy.
Although they are two different things, they overlap and we need to be very careful to portion out appropriate amounts during any given time. Just like our financial budget, our energy budget and our time budget are not limitless. We are not machines, and we are not indestructible. Let’s keep our energy bank as full as we can, and be good stewards of the energy we are given each day. Let’s not pretend we’re robots. There is a point of diminishing returns.
