A short advice clip encouraging a decision heuristic called the "energy filter": when facing options, notice your bodily reaction and choose what gives you energy rather than what drains you. The speaker illustrates with a personal business partnership that was fruitful on paper but energy-draining; leaving it improved both business results and personal enjoyment.
When you think about each option in the decision you're making, pay attention how your body reacts. This is where you ask the question, does this give me energy or does it drain me? You know, I once had a partnership arrangement in our company that looked great on paper, and it was fruitful. But every meeting, every time I was working on that partnership, it drained my energy. So I decided to say, no more. No, I don't want to do this anymore because this energy is being wasted. And that was one of the best business decisions I ever made. And personal decision, because I started to enjoy my work more because I didn't have to do that dreadful work.
