Stop doing hard work when you are tired.
Most people plan their day around time but he most productive people plan around energy.
Think about your own day.
There are times when you feel focused, alert, and capable of solving complex problems. The, there are other times when even simple tasks feel harder than they should.
Yet many people tackle their most important work whenever they happen to find a spare moment.
A better approach is to match the task to your energy level.
High energy: Deep work. Problem solving. Creative thinking.
Medium energy: Meetings. Collaboration. Planning.
Low energy: Emails. Admin. Routine tasks.
When your energy and your work are aligned, tasks take less effort and the quality improves. When they are not, everything feels like hard work.
That's why the goal is not to squeeze more into your day; the goal is to do the right work at the right time.
Map your energy peaks and start working with them, not against them.
Think productivity, think Blue Ink.
