A short YouTube advice clip (by Nate Tilley) about practical strategies to recharge personal energy to boost productivity. The speaker recommends regular workouts to break mental fatigue, proactively planning holidays rather than waiting until burnout, and scheduling heavy work or heavy lifting days (e.g., on Fridays) to take advantage of recovery days before the next weekly cycle.
How do you recharge your energy for maximum productivity? It's an activity that you do throughout your day, throughout your week and throughout your year. It just resets all the static energy in your body so you get a second wind to get after it. And a couple of these that are really good is workouts. You've completely fatigued your mental capacity and you go out there and you do a physical strenuous workout and then once you've done that it has just broken that circuit and you feel renewed and you feel recharged. I also like to use holidays for this. It's great to to actually sit down and plan when your holidays are instead of waiting for when you need a holiday. For me I like to get my heaviest work day done on a Friday. I like to get my heaviest weightlifting day on a Friday because I know that I have a day or two of rest before I get back and I go back into that next weekly cycle.
