Stumbled upon this concept of focusing on managing your energy instead of time; the idea is you could have all the time in the world to do certain things, but without energy to do things you might not end up doing them; and on the other side of the spectrum, if you have a lot of energy you might be able to get a lot done in a short period of time.

Has anyone experimented with trying to make the best use of when they have lots of energy, and to prioritize rest when you have little energy?

Have you found things that keep your “energy” up? (I guess it seems like both a psychological and physical concept, but I disavow association with a “new age” concept of “energy”)

    The concepts in the book Getting Things Done really helped me with this. It goes beyond just having energy, but also doing things when you’re in the appropriate context. And it helps with keeping energy because you don’t ever have to try to remember what you need to do once you’ve got your habits formed to use your trusted system.
