Manage Your Energy

5 Tips on How to Manage Your Energy Levels

The varying degrees of your energy level can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Sometimes you have to have the energy to complete a task or activity and other times you seem to have the most energy when you’re trying to relax. If you can learn how to manage your energy levels effectively, you can move ahead rather than lag behind.

Here are some tips about how to manage your energy levels so that you’re ready for anything – any time.

1. Determine the times you’re most energetic. Some people are more energetic in the mornings and others are night owls. You should be able to determine from past experience which time of day you get more done. Those are the times you should schedule the most harrowing or mind bending of tasks.  For example, I know that I start to fade around 4PM but I am very energetic at 6 or 7 in the morning so I do my heavy thinking that time.  I reserve later times in the day for self-care.
2. Identify what drains you of your energy. Be honest about this assessment. When you know which obstacles and situations keep you from being the best you can be, you can do what it takes to minimize them or eradicate them from your life.  Honesty is key.  Do you have people in your life who live on drama?  Those people probably drain your energy.  Reserve specific times to indulge them but do not allow them to hijack your day.  Subscribe to educopywriter.blog for the more.
