Personal Effectiveness is More about Managing Energy than Managing Time
In this hurry-up world with multiple demands for your attention, it's easy to forget how very important it is to relax. To breathe. To be silent. To re-calibrate.
While it may seem most natural to push harder or run faster, the most satisfied, successful people pause to balance their energy on a regular basis.
Balance for personal effectiveness is more about energy than about time, although many people do associate both effectiveness and efficiency with time. If only you had more time, right?
Many people think that if they only had more hours in the day, they would be more effective. Or if they had another day in the week, they could finally get everything done. Or if they could spend more time in one way rather than another, they would be more balanced or happy or satisfied or ... whatever.
For me, though, the key to effectiveness is to manage your energy so that you can do all that you want to do — to perform at your best and still feel vibrant. If you feel drained at the end of a client session, a meeting, or a rendezvous with a friend, you need to listen to that information and attend to your energy balance.
So many resources are filled with valuable ideas and actions to add to your to-do list. And thank goodness there are so many resources!
I like to guide people to their inner teacher, their inner resources. Time spend in silence, even if it is brief by the clock, can be an oasis for replenishment. It is so powerful to let go of all the ideas and techniques so that you can relax into a deep knowing.
From your inner wisdom, you can more easily know the right steps for you to take, the actions for you to put on your to-do list and do joyously
