A lot of people espouse the importance of time management.
But I’ve always found this uninspiring and impossible to follow.
What I found over years of figuring this stuff out, was that managing one’s energy is way more powerful.
At least, focus on optimising your energy first — as foundational.
If you can cut out the stuff that drains your energy and boost those things that do, your time-management tends to sort itself out. You become unstoppable.
These are the habits I’ve found connect many of the most energised people:
1. Spend a lot of time in physical motion.
How energised we feel is inextricably tied to how aligned we are to our natural behaviours.
Humans are not built to handle a modern, sedentary, ginormous ass-in-seat lifestyle. This is the main reason why everyone’s depressed these days.
Energised people do as our bare-chested ancestors did, and they keep moving. To be honest, I believe we’re all nomadic at heart.
Continually moving. Motion and exercise get the blood pumping and keep endorphins (happy chemicals) high.
