HBR: MANAGE YOUR ENERGY, NOT YOUR TIME

Extract from HBR:

MANAGE YOUR ENERGY, NOT YOUR TIME
Tony Schwartz and Catherine McCarthy

Time is a finite resource, but energy can be systematically expanded and renewed. Build energy in four key dimensions: the body, emotions, mind, and spirit.

• For instance, harnessing the body's ultradian rhythms by taking intermittent breaks restores physical energy.
• Rejecting the role of a victim and instead viewing events through three hopeful lenses defuses energy-draining negative emotions.
• Avoiding the constant distractions that technology has introduced increases mental energy.
• And participating in activities that give you a sense of meaning and purpose boosts the energy of the spirit.
