Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time…
Managing your energy is one of the smartest things a person can do. When it comes to accomplishing a goal, it doesn’t really matter how long it takes you, it matters what level of energy you put into it that makes it worth while or not.
A wise man by the name of Donald Trump once said “The harder your work, the more lucky you become”. This can only be made true through managing your energy…
If you manage your energy, not your time…
The time you do spend on accomplishing your goals will have a larger impact, thus creating the illusion that you are lucky based upon the level of your success.
Of course in reality, you are only lucky by the fact that you are faced with difficult challenges that call upon energy management for the purpose of accomplishing your goals.
Think about this for a moment…
If you spent 12 hours focused on reaching a goal and you only put 30% of your energy into it…
The goal could be accomplished, however it would take a long time and the quality of your work may suffer due to a lack of care put into reaching your goal.
I’m not saying to rush through your tasks to reach your goals…
I’m just saying…
Wouldn’t it be wiser to put forth 100% of your energy for 4 hours?
It takes less time, more energy and care have gone into your work, and by doing these things you will have opened the door to new possibilities that were previously hindered by time constraints.
Clearly, energy management is the smart choice.
How To Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time…
So…
You have decided to manage your energy, not your time huh?
Very wise decision…
How do you do it?
Not hard at all!
Focus your mind on your heart and your instincts.
Your heart will always feel a certain way about the things you do…
When you are doing something you love, your heart will always be searching for ways to do what you do in a better more efficient way that benefits you and others more so than if you didn’t follow your heart.
Your heart is full of energy, use this power wisely, and you will see the time you spend on reaching your goals shorten, and the level of quality of your work go up drastically.
When you manage your energy, not your time…
You are also relying more so on your instincts to help you get things done quickly. The best thing you can do when focusing on your gut feeling (instinct) is to trust it with all of your heart and act upon it without hesitation. 9 times out of 10 you will hit a home run!
Benefits When You Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time…
When you choose to manage your energy, not your time, you are going to benefit in so many ways I am sure I am not yet fully aware of all of them, and it may even take you some time to fully understand the entire benefit of doing this.
Some of the benefits I know of:
>> More free time to live and enjoy life.
>> Higher quality of work completed.
>> More goals accomplished in less time.
>> A greater sense of self accomplishment.
>> Self confidence boost.
>> Raises team morale when they see the energy level you operate at.
>> Inspires others to focus more on the things they can control and less on what they can’t control. We can’t control how fast or slow time moves, we can control our minds, and what we choose to do with our hearts.
