Energy Management

Manage your energy, not just your time.

Central to good time management is good energy management - mental and physical. We've all experienced the afternoon and end-of-week slump - here we'll discuss how to maintain energy, and how to consider tasks and meetings with this in mind.

BRIEF Facilitation notes

How to run it.

When to use it

Use Energy Management to help people sustain focus through the day. Discussing how to maintain mental and physical energy, and how to plan tasks and meetings around it, tackles the afternoon and end-of-week slump directly.

Use it when

  • People run out of steam before the important work is done.
  • A team schedules demanding tasks without regard to energy.
  • Wellbeing and sustained performance both matter.

Not the right tool when

  • The focus is scheduling time itself. Use Calendar Management.
  • You want to prioritise what to work on. Use Prioritisation.
