Mastering Energy Management: The Secret to Peak Performance

You can plan every minute and still feel depleted. Energy—not hours—determines the quality of your work.

When you understand your rhythms, you schedule demanding tasks when you are sharp and save lighter work for low-energy moments.

Charting Your Rhythms

Track your energy for a week. Notice when focus peaks and when it dips.

Assign deep work to peak blocks and insert restorative breaks before your energy collapses.

Fueling the Four Energies

Guard physical basics—sleep, nutrition, movement. They anchor every other effort.

Tend to emotional, mental, and spiritual energy with boundaries, single-tasking, and a sense of purpose.

Keep it with You

• Log your energy levels for the next seven days.
• Schedule breaks before you feel fried.
• Revisit your purpose statement when motivation wanes.
