Manage your Energy , not your time

On the outset i would like to thank Prof. S. Nagendra to spark on thinking the way we are managing our selves. This article acts as trigger which was very much needed to bring about a change our lifestyle where needed. Though while i m writing this review im already losing on an 7 -8 hour of good sleep. ( which i have set as a 1st ritual to follow).However i could not resist jotting down my initial thoughts on this article at this point of time ( Its 3o mins past 1 in the morning). It releates so much to the way i m working these days, striving to manage time and meeting pressing deadlines, a feeling that there is so much less time and so much work to complete ( Though thats not really true, as there is so much time that is spent not utilized). Sometimes losing on quality family life and time to spend with friends, as i end up being tied up with work even at home and on weekends.( working on a few tasks which i may have put to later at some point in time earlier). So here i started first with accepting Yes! i need to manage my energy and currently its lacking.Secondly believing that these rituals will definately work. Futher to which making some initial plans to follow rituals on physical health (A good sleep,Waking up early, better eating habits and some exercise to begin with). Controlling my emotions in a better way and constantly observing changes and improving futher where needed.
Everyone of us have the capability and the energy to outdo ourselves and others and set higher benchmarks and once those benchmarks are met go ahead and set a higher benchmarks from the previous ones. However many of us really do that? This article instills some thoughts in us. And i m all set to change the way i live today and bring out the best in me.
