Effort: Moderate-
Ingredient: Autonomy to Make Decisions
Being able to make your own decisions and live on your terms.
How
Find your bright spot: Notice when you feel most alert - early/late morning, afternoon, evening. Choose one 30–60 min window you can usually protect.
Pick one focus for today: Name one task that matters most - work or personal. Examples: draft one page, review a budget, plan meals, call the doctor, practice an instrument.
Protect the window: Reduce interruptions:
phone face-down/silent,
quick status - “Back in 30”,
keep only what helps in front of you (doc, tool, book).
Easy Start
Block 30 minutes tomorrow and write one line: “In my energy hour I will __.”
Why It Matters
Questions and Thoughts
- “My day is unpredictable.” → Use the next bright spot you get; even 20 minutes counts.
- “I don’t know what to pick.” → Keep a short list of “energy-hour options” (work, health, admin, learning, creativity, relationships).
- “People need me.” → Say a simple line upfront: “I’ll be back in 30 minutes,” then return as promised.
Care Notes
Choose something you control (not dependent on others showing up). Start small on low-energy days. Missing a day isn’t failure - book the next one.
