Hello Reader,<\/p>\n

You are busy all day, you are producing results, but you don\u2019t know what you enjoy anymore? What\u2019s wrong?<\/p>\n

I recently spoke with a woman and this is what she shared:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am busy all day doing stuff. I often have back-to-back meetings. I barely have time to get my own work done. And on top of that, I don\u2019t even know anymore what I enjoy or what I am good at. Come the evening, I flop down onto the sofa and that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

If this sounds familiar \u2014 or you know someone who this might help \u2014 here is what you can start with.<\/p>\n

Look at your energy calendar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For one week, at the end of every workday, look at your calendar and colour-code each activity and type of work you have done.
\u200bGreen:<\/strong> It gives you energy.
\u200bYellow:<\/strong> You feel neutral.
\u200bRed:<\/strong> It drains your energy.<\/p>\n

Trust your gut instinct and colour-code your week.<\/p>\n

Then, at the end of the week, reflect on what the energy-creating, energy-draining and neutral activities have in common.<\/p>\n

Based on this, you can create your own action plan.<\/p>\n
