Energy Matches Time
Creating a time window regarding a task or project has a tendency for enough energy to be available to complete that task within that window. Say something has to be done in 25mins, It is likely to be done in 25 mins. This also means that if there is no specific time window for a certain task, it could take a very long time because the energy is directionless and lacks focus. Creating realistic time windows to apply ourselves to our future goals is key to our future success. Time blocks, rest periods etc. can be helpful in your daily task applications. Apply!
Rest Easy Friend.
There are a lot of comparisons online and in the real world. People see others that are likely the same age and have achieved great things. This makes them reevaluate their life choices and makes them anxious, desperate, and impatient. They also create scenarios in their head e.g. what if I did that, what if I studied this, etc. This doesn’t matter. The decisions you made in the past have happened. You have two choices! move on and find a way or get stuck in the past. It is also important that when we try to move on and get on with life. We should find quiet rest periods to rest and rejuvenate. Sleep and rest are good because it rejuvenates the brain and keeps you in a good mental state. Have a great week!
