Time Management
We never have enough time, so we need to make the most of what we have. By prioritizing tasks that give us energy and focusing on our personal strengths, we can create a schedule that aligns with our goals and values. Auditing our time allocation periodically allows us to make corrections and ensure we are investing our time judiciously. This same technique can be applied to managing any portfolio of scarce resources.

Keep a log of how you spend your time and how you feel to understand the relationship between capacity and energy levels.
