How do you manage your personal energy?

You have a finite amount of physical and mental energy, and each day you must decide how you’ll use it.

While you might not deplete the entire amount of energy you have on a daily basis, there are times during the day when you’ll feel as though you have more energy than at other times.

The majority of people have the most energy after a good night of sleep since the body and brain have the opportunity to rest and recover. However, there are some individuals that do function better in the latter half of the day.

It’s important to recognize that managing your energy is more important than how you manage your time. What’s the use of having time to perform a task if you don’t have the energy to do so? And if you force yourself to perform in a low energy state, it might take you twice as long, or more, to perform the same task, so then your time management goes out the window.

Learning your own personal energy cycles takes some time but pays off handsomely in the long run. You see, since you can’t control time, knowing how or when to make the best use of the time is more beneficial. Essentially aligning your prime energy cycles with the time you have will give you the best results.

Now I know that you will not always be able to align your personal energy cycles with what’s going in your life because of external obligations and other events beyond your control. But that shouldn’t prevent you from learning your peak energy cycles to know how to use them best when you have access to time.

So, take some time to learn your energy cycles. And then use your energy to create, to produce, and to grow. Manage your energy to make the most of time and ultimately the life you have.
