Manage Your Energy

Manage Your Energy

Time scarcity is real. We repeatedly ask ourselves or are asked by others to do more than is humanly possible in any given timeframe. Most of us can learn to use our time more effectively by reducing distractions and improving our focus.

We must also learn to manage energy as well as time.

He called it the ICU method.
