Monday reflection: Personal Energy Management

 

In business, productivity isn’t about how much time we give to a project, its about the economic and social value we create.  Yet we structure our days around desk dairies, meetings and emails, not delivering performance and output. The result is often high levels of activity for low impact. Our  highest-value work designing strategy, problem-solving, and decision-making requires peak mental focus and energy so we need to channel our time to what delivers for us and others. 

At a team level, this matters even more. Back-to-back meetings and constant switching in each meeting and across a day from topic to topic often without delivering resolution drains our personal and our collective energy. We need to give ourselves time to focus and deliver output. We can batch meetings into specific windows, build mental recovery time into the day and guard our personal energy. If not we face burnout and disappointment that we have not achieved what we set out to.
