In this episode, I’m offering a new lens on productivity — one that doesn’t revolve around time blocks or planners, but instead focuses on managing your ⚡energy⚡. I share how I discovered my most productive hours (by accident), what happened when I worked with that instead of against it, and why listening to your body can be the most productive move you make.

Takeaways

  • Traditional productivity tips are valid, but they’re not everything.
  • Discovering when you naturally have the most energy can be a game changer.
  • Your energy shifts daily and across your cycle (for women), so it’s okay to do less on low-energy days.
  • Pushing yourself constantly doesn’t help. Working with your body does.
  • Self-awareness is the first step to managing your energy sustainably.

Rec list

  • Try: Track when you have the most energy and adjust your workload around that window
  • The One Week Coffee Reset: Take a 1-week break from coffee each month to avoid dependence (and withdrawal headaches! 😓) Substitute with tea or simply lower your caffeine intake gradually
