Invest Your Energy
Invest Your Energy | Inspirational Speeches | Inspirational Video
The important thing is to be strategic and intentional about where we put our energy so that we apply it to what matters most to us. Here’s how:
1. Notice your energy. Where do you spend it? I set my phone to beep at random times during the day as a prompt to notice how I’m spending my energy at that moment — both visibly (doing) and invisibly (thinking). When you look at life with an energy lens, you begin to see things differently. Merely doing this little energy check-in began to change my habits.
2. Know what matters to you. Knowing what brings value to your life — joy and productivity — is essential to making smart decisions about where to spend your energy. You might have been in the political conversation I mentioned at the beginning of this article and felt blissful. If so, that could be a great use of your energy. For me, it was energy misspent.
3. Plan wise energy investment. Once you know which things matter most to you, schedule as many of them into your life as possible. Put them in your calendar. Let them crowd out activities that represent energy leaks. This idea of “crowding out” works for thinking, too. Where do you want to spend your mental energy? I find that perseverating over things (or people) that annoy me is seldom a useful way to waste energy—but thinking about what I can learn from something almost always is. Let your learning mind “crowd out” your complaining account. Scheduling time at the end of the day to glean insights can be incredibly valuable.
4. Most importantly, plan where not to invest. Once you begin to notice your energy, you will see things you do, and the ways you think are pointless energy drains. While it’s surprisingly hard to stop doing something midstream, it’s much less painful not to start in the first place. Think of how much easier it is not to turn on the television than to stop watching in the middle of a show. Don’t enter a conversation that you know will rile you up and get you nowhere.
5. Finally, don’t spend much time thinking about this. You don’t have to get it right, just better than yesterday. And optimizing your energy expenditure can be its counterproductive energy drain. Simply pull yourself out of one useless conversation, stop yourself from responding to one silly email, let go of one nagging thought. You’ll be a more intelligent investor of your energy.
