Your energy levels fluctuate throughout the day. You have high-energy times and low-energy times. Match your tasks to these energy levels. Do demanding, creative work when you have high energy. Save routine, administrative tasks for low energy times.
Track your energy for a week. Notice when you feel most alert and capable. Notice when you feel tired or sluggish. Then schedule your work accordingly. Do not fight your natural rhythms. Work with them.
This practice increases both productivity and satisfaction. You accomplish more because you are working with your energy, not against it. You feel better because you are not forcing yourself to do demanding work when you are tired.
Start tracking your energy today. Notice your high and low points. Then schedule tomorrow’s tasks to match. Notice how much more you accomplish when you work with your natural energy rhythms.
