What To Do If Time Management Isn't Working
Introducing Your New Friend: Energy Management
We’ve all felt the burn out.
As business owners, we've been conditioned to believe that time management is the holy grail of productivity.
But here's the thing…
Managing your energy (not just time) can lead to more success and a much healthier lifestyle.
Instead of focusing solely on squeezing tasks into specific time blocks, energy management is all about aligning your work with your natural energy levels.
Energy management prioritizes your well-being.
We all have peaks and dips in our energy throughout the day (think of that morning post-coffee burst of motivation or the post-lunch slump) and using those times to our advantage is key.
Here are four ways you can shift to energy management:
Identify Your Energy Peaks and Valleys
Take note of when you feel most alert and productive. Track this over a week and start planning your day accordingly.Batch Similar Tasks for Energy Efficiency
Group similar tasks together and assign them to times when your energy matches the type of task. Use high-energy periods for creative work or decision-making, and save lower-energy periods for administrative tasks or responding to emails.Embrace Breaks
Instead of grinding through your entire day, take breaks to recharge. A quick walk, read a chapter in a book, or even just stepping away from your screen can help restore your energy levels.Delegate and Automate
Recognize tasks that drain your energy and consider whether they can be delegated to others or automated. Not everything needs your direct involvement, and freeing up energy for higher-level thinking will move your business forward.
Give this a try for a week and see where it takes you!
