#56 Why Energy Management Beats Time Management
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You don't have a time problem — you have an energy problem. In this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, Chris gets personal about a brutal stretch of life (his son's ongoing health battle) and shares why no amount of time management can save you when your energy tanks are running on empty.
Then, taking inspiration from the band U2, Chris breaks down why the unglamorous "B-side tasks" — the ones that don't move the needle on your big goals — still deserve your full effort. Because nobody wants an album full of demos.
In this episode:
- Why time is fixed, but energy is the real variable
- How to manage your physical, mental, and emotional energy as three distinct tanks
- What U2's recording process teaches us about embracing the work that doesn't feel important
- Why B-side tasks are the foundation your "hits" depend on
This week's challenge: Instead of asking how do I find more time? — ask where is my energy going?
