Growth

Match the task to your energy

WhenWhen you plan work for a variable day.

Look at the work that is genuinely needed. Place one demanding task in an available period when you expect more capacity, and keep a lighter task or rest available for a lower-energy period.

Why it works

Choose terrain that fits the day you have.

Start tiny

Move one demanding task to a better available period.

What you’ll notice

The plan takes your actual capacity into account.

When it slips

If no suitable period exists, reduce or renegotiate the work instead of assuming you can push through.
