The Energy Audit

The Energy Audit. Ten minutes. More honest than most career conversations.

Take the five things that consume most of your time right now. Write them down.

Now mark each one — not difficult or easy. Energizing or draining.

Energizing: even when it’s hard, this work gives something back.

Draining: even when it goes well, it takes something out of you.

Not everything that’s hard is wrong. But some things that feel completely normal have been draining you for years.

What’s the ratio on your list? And is it sustainable?
