Time management: full of energy for the day
Some people seem to have inexhaustible reserves. As if you can tap into a secret source of energy that never runs dry. It would be nice, but humans are also subject to certain laws. One of them is: You can only consume what you have previously put in. A banal but crucial rule can be derived from this: Fill up with more energy than you give off!
What, it doesn’t work for you of all people? Then analyze your situation: write down your energy balance on a two-column list. Write what gives you energy in the left column and what drains you of energy in the right column. Then you determine how you can eliminate the energy thieves and make more use of the energy suppliers. If you are still missing some ideas, then read on…
Time management tip no. 1: Use energy suppliers correctly
You absorb energy with food, recover during sleep and when you relax. Important: As always in life, balance is important. A lot of food does not automatically mean a lot of energy, because everything that the body cannot use it turns into love handles. The more you weigh, the more energy it takes to move. Balance energy intake and consumption, stay slim and use your energy effectively. The same applies to relaxation: not enough sleep and relaxation make you tired, too much lethargy.
Time management tip no. 2: Limit energy consumption
If you can hardly catch your breath in the hectic everyday life, you waste more energy than you can refuel. Only three things help:
- Simplify in all areas of life!
- Set priorities!
- Limit yourself to the essentials!
Treat yourself to short breaks from time to time – a secret weapon of energetic people. You don’t consume energy continuously, but skilfully switch between tension and relaxation.
