Ep 27: Time vs Energy: The Mistake Most People Are Making


Listen Later

Most people focus on managing their time, but overlook something just as important: their energy.

In this episode, I explore the difference between time and energy management, why this often sits at the root of feeling overwhelmed, stressed or less productive than you’d like, and how you can start structuring your days and weeks in a way that actually supports how you feel and perform.

Key Points

  • Why managing your time alone isn’t enough
  • The two types of energy: wellbeing (baseline energy) and how you design your schedule
  • The “wellbeing basics” that underpin consistent energy
  • Why these basics are often the first things to slip when life gets busy
  • How to structure your work and schedule to support focus, motivation, and productivity
  • The concept of “energy batching” and grouping similar tasks together
  • Real examples of how to design your time more intentionally
  • Why most people have more control over their schedule than they realise
  • The impact of planning vs. falling into reactive ways of working

If this is something you’d like to improve, whether that’s managing your time and energy more effectively, feeling less overwhelmed, or working in a way that’s more sustainable, this is exactly the kind of work I support clients with.
