Welcome to the ERW podcast, I’m your host, BpB, fellow road warrior, husband of one, father of five, author, and a recovering workaholic.
Busy – Can’t Stop Now – I’m hurried and my energy is dispersed
Beatdown – Can’t Take This – I’m now stressed and my energy is decreased
Burnout – Can’t Keep Going – I’m officially done and my energy is depleted
HERE ARE THE THREE PHASES OF THE ENERGY CYCLE:
PHASE ONE: REST = STOP FOR NOW
- The Quick Hit Charge – plugging in to get a quick bump in energy (and we’ll talk about this more later in the episode)
- The Trickle Charge – the low amp, long duration full charge (patience sold separately)
THERE ARE THREE PARTS TO REST:
SLEEP
The 2nd part of Rest is…
- BREAKS
And the 3rd part of Rest after Sleep and Breaks is…
- MARGIN / DOWNTIME
Phase One of the Energy Cycle is Rest – Stop for Now = my energy is recharged through sleep / breaks / margin for downtime
After Rest – Stop for Now, we move to Phase Two of the Energy Cycle:
PHASE TWO: REFUEL = PUT BACK IN
THERE ARE THREE PARTS TO REFUEL:
- Nutrition
The 2nd part in Refuel is…
- Fitness
After Nutrition and Fitness, the 3rd phase in refuel is…
- Development
Here are Four C’s to better clarify a PDP:
- Consume – this is what I read and hear on a daily basis – think books, blog posts, magazines, podcasts, audiobooks, etc.
- Coaching – hiring someone ahead of me for a season to get me where I want and need to go – often expensive but always worth it to me
- Courses – for me this is online courses that help me continually develop
- Conferences – opportunity to learn and network with like-minded learners on the same journey
PHASE THREE: RE-ENGAGE = GET BACK OUT
This is The Energy Cycle where you can become an ERW:
1. Rest – Stop for Now = my energy is recharged through sleep / breaks / margin for downtime
2. Refuel – Put Back In = my energy is replenished through nutrition / fitness / personal development
3. Re-Engage – Get Back Out = my energy is renewed through planning / implementing / evaluating
