Ben Morton argues time management fails because energy fluctuates throughout the day and week. Map when you peak and what drains you, then schedule demanding work during your highs and routine tasks during your lows. This alignment cuts fatigue and boosts productivity.
When are your natural energy peaks and troughs across the day and across the week? When do you tend to feel at your best, and when do you feel more drained or fatigued? The second question is: What energises you and what drains you? What parts of your current role truly play to your strengths? And on the flip side, what parts of your current role take more out of you? And once you're clear on those two things, you can start to plan your days and use your time much more effectively.
