Short YouTube talk (by Mark Evans DM) introducing the speaker’s practice of an “energy” or “effort” audit: tracking where they spend time and energy over seven days to reveal wasted activities and increase productivity. The speaker stresses honest self-assessment and contrasts superficial leisure/activity with focused work that produces growth.
I'm going to talk to you today about a thing I do. Energy audit, effort audit, whatever you want to call it. I literally, for the last seven days, I've been paying attention to where all my time spent. Where am I investing my time? We all, you and I, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, all of us have the same 24 hours in a day. That's no secret. But why can one be so much more successful, accomplish so many more things than the other? Well, it's because they're doing what I'm about to share with you. And if you implement this, you're going to gain a grasp, because you got to be honest with yourself. You got to be real with yourself. What are you investing your time and energy in? And I know a lot of times it's amazing to me. I talk to guys and gals and they're like, dude, it's so hard. I don't have enough time. But I go on their Facebook or I go on their Instagram, and they're taking more trips than anybody I know. They're at every sporting event under the moon, and they're getting smashed on the weekends, and they're wondering why they're not growing. Huh? I wonder.
