One change that makes everything easier

We’ve all tried to get more done by managing our time better.

Color-coded calendars. To-do lists. Earlier alarms.

And sure, those things help—until they don’t.

Because here’s the hard truth:

It’s not about managing your time.

It’s about managing your energy.

Think about it.

Ever had a free hour but no motivation?

Or tried to “push through” when you were already burnt out?

Time was there—but energy wasn’t.

And without energy, time doesn’t matter.

Why Energy Management Is the One Change That Changes Everything

When your energy is high:

• You focus faster

• You’re more patient

• You actually want to show up for your goals

When your energy is low:

• Everything takes longer

• You second-guess simple decisions

• You chase dopamine instead of making progress

That’s why energy management beats time management every time.

How to Make the Shift This Week

Try one or more of these:

🔹 Protect Your First 90 Minutes

No distractions. No email. No meetings.

Use that time for your highest-impact task—the thing that moves your week forward.

🔹 Prioritize Sleep

Sleep isn’t optional. It’s fuel.

Start winding down 30 minutes earlier tonight—your future self will thank you.

🔹 Move Daily

Even a short walk or a few sets of bodyweight movements will boost focus and mood.

Your brain rides on your body’s energy.

🔹 Eat for Energy, Not Just Pleasure

Try to eat meals that leave you energized instead of sluggish—especially Monday through Friday.

🔹 Say No to What Drains You

If it doesn’t align with your priorities, and it drains your energy, it’s a no this week.
