Energy Over Time

People talk about making time, having time, scheduling, etc. But the one thing that may trump time is energy. You may have the energy but not the time, which is one thing. Though, even if you book the time, you may not be able to use it effectively if you don’t have enough energy.

As we age from 20 to 90, each day will have 24 hours and each year 365/6 days. However, most people do not have the energy at 55 that they had at 25. Certainly most won’t have the energy at 80 that they had at 30.

So use your young energy wisely. Do things you want early on in life. Don’t store up high energy activities until later in your years. You may have the time and the money but not the energy. You’ve been warned.

Natural Decline

Everything gets there towards the end, or even throughout its existence. People are no different. We decline with time. Our physical limits go as well as our mental faculties.

It is not easy to watch or experience. But it happens. Prepare for it in advance. And bring your humour with you.

The To-Do List

There is always something on the to-do list. It might be work or pleasure, rest or play, but there will be something on the list. You will usually be able to think of something that needs to be done, either for you, your kids, parents or friends.

Remember, even when you stop, drop and lay in the ground, there will be things to be done. They’ll either be unnecessary items or someone else will pick up the task and put it on their to-do list.

Prepare

The more prepared you can be, the more likely you will be to succeed. Spend time preparing for your day, week and year. The benefits of this action will be significant.

Tidy And Organise

This is amazingly cathartic. Getting rid of things that no longer bring you joy or are needed in any way can lift a weight off your shoulders. Recycling old papers, bank statements, messages and the like, helps keep surfaces cleaner and files thinner. This makes it easier to find the important things.

Take a day or two and rid yourself of any mountains you have. Then do it daily and again weekly. It’s like mowing your lawn or showering, it’s often better with greater frequency, not less.

Then when you have less stuff, it’s easier to organise those papers, files, toys, gadgets or general items. Be brutal with this concept. Refuse to let any random item have space in your life. Bin it, recycle, give away or cherish, but with a specific place of its own. Life will get better.

Consider Your Options

Look at where you want to go. Think about the options to get there. Then read an article, watch a YouTube video, listen to a podcast and ask a few people for other options. Then calmly consider your options.

At that point you can make your informed decision.
