LT Success Insights: Success Snapshot #5 – Your Energy is Your Edge
You don’t need more time — you need better energy.

You’ve got clarity. You’ve simplified your steps. You’ve learned to reset quickly.
Now it’s time to protect your most valuable asset: your energy.

When your energy is low, even simple tasks feel hard. But when it’s high, you move faster with less effort. Today’s focus is on how to manage your energy so you can show up as your best — consistently.

Insight:
Energy, not time, drives your results.

You might have time in your schedule — but if you’re drained, progress stalls.
Peak performers know this: they schedule their high-energy activities when they feel most alive, alert, and focused. The key is to work with your energy, not against it.

Action:
Track your energy for the next 3 days.
Note when you feel most focused or most tired.

Then ask:
▶ What time of day is best for my most important work?
▶ What drains me — and what boosts me?

Once you know your pattern, protect your best energy window like it’s a meeting with your future success.

Tool:
Try the Energy Audit Grid (inspired by performance coach Brendon Burchard):

Make 4 quick lists:

  • Things that drain me

  • Things that energize me

  • People who lift me up

  • People who drain me

Review weekly. Shift your schedule toward more of what energizes you.

Protect your energy like a pro.
It’s not about doing more — it’s about doing the right things when you’re at your best.

See you in the next Success Insight!
