Map of your energy through the day
Recording energy by the hour, showing when you're capable of what — and when you aren't.
What it’s for
Many people schedule their hardest tasks for when they have least energy, and then accuse themselves of laziness.
How it goes
- For a week, rate your energy from 1 to 10 every three hours.
- Note what you were doing at the time.
- After a week, find the peak and the trough of your day.
- Move one demanding task into the peak and one mechanical one into the trough.
Why it works
Because scheduling by energy is more effective than scheduling by urgency — and it doesn’t require more willpower.
