Listen Later

Do you know that everytime you are mildly (or greatly) annoyed with your office or workspace, you waste cognitive and emotional energy? I've been trying to force myself into loving working in my on-campus office, and I just ..... can't. And I'm envious of folks who can. But forcing myself to try to be productive and motivated in a space that doesn't do it for me is actually causing me a huge energy leak. "Energy leaks" are the ways in which our cognitive, emotional, and intellectual energy dissipates leaving us tired, frustrated, unfocused, and/or resentful. (And maybe many other emotions.) In this episode, I get honest about my office and workplace energy leaks and what I've been doing to stop the leak. 

Happy listening!
