🎙 Episode Title:

If you’ve ever time-blocked the perfect schedule only to end up doom-scrolling with a half-eaten granola bar at 2 p.m., welcome to Functioning-ish. This week, we’re talking about energy mapping—a practical, science-backed approach to planning your day around how your brain and body actually work.

Spoiler: productivity isn’t just about time. It’s about energy. In this episode, Jen breaks down how ADHD, perimenopause, and stress systems impact your focus, and why syncing your tasks with your energy—not your calendar—is the key to getting sh*t done without burning out.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• The science behind daily energy shifts (circadian, ultradian, hormonal)
• Why ADHD and perimenopause make traditional planning systems fail
• How to track your own energy patterns and use them to redesign your day
• What energy-aware scheduling looks like in both flexible and 9–5 jobs

🛠️ Tools & Tips Inside:

• A 3–7 day energy tracking method (with zero judgment)
• Task-to-energy level matching system (High, Medium, Low, No-Go)
• How to protect your peak windows—even in a corporate schedule
• Quick post-task resets that rebuild energy without needing a vacation
