Hello there, and welcome to Work Smarter: The Ultimate Productivity Hack Show. I'm Hazel, and today I want to talk directly to you about something I know is weighing on your mind right now.

It's June 4th, 2025, and I can almost feel the overwhelm pressing down on you. That endless to-do list. Those competing priorities. The constant sense that you're running but not actually getting anywhere meaningful. Sound familiar?

Today, I'm going to share a transformative strategy I call the "Energy Mapping Technique" - a productivity approach that's less about doing more and more about aligning your most important work with your natural energy rhythms.

Think of your daily productivity like a river. Some moments are rushing rapids, full of incredible momentum. Other times, you're meandering through calm pools. The magic happens when you learn to navigate those currents intentionally.

Here's how the Energy Mapping Technique works. First, spend one week tracking your energy levels. Not just when you feel tired or alert, but the nuanced shifts throughout your day. Are you sharpest at 9 AM? Do you hit a creative peak after lunch? Do you have a second wind around 4 PM?

Most people never do this simple observation. But by understanding your unique energy landscape, you can match your most challenging or creative work to your peak performance windows.

Let me give you three practical tips to implement this right away:

Tip One: Use a simple energy tracking app or a small notebook. Mark your energy levels hourly for a week.

Tip Two: Color code your tracking. Green for high energy. Yellow for moderate. Red for low energy moments.

Tip Three: After a week, look for patterns. Schedule your most important, most complex work during your green zones.

This isn't about working harder. It's about working smarter by respecting your body's natural rhythms.

As you move through your day today, I want you to start noticing. When do you feel most alive? Most focused? Most creative? Those are your golden hours.

Remember, productivity isn't about perfection. It's about progress. Small, intentional shifts can create massive transformation.

If you've found value in today's episode, I'd love for you to share it with someone who might need these insights. And next week, we'll dive even deeper into working smarter, not harder.

Until then, this is Hazel, reminding you that your energy is your most valuable asset. Use it wisely.
