Puri: Energy audits are more effective than standard time management

“It basically means you take for one week, you sort of keep track of like roughly how you used Each hour. And then what you do is the next week you just go back, you just pull up last week's calendar and you take three colored markers. You take a green marker, a red marker, and a yellow marker, and you go back through your week, how you spent your time and you say what, which block, which thing I did gave me energy. I marked those green, which felt like it sucked all the energy out of me. I was drained afterwards and I felt like my soul had been sucked out of me. I let me mark those red and then the neutral things let me mark yellow. And you look at the painting, you know, you look at your color and you're like, wow, that's a lot of red or hey, that's actually pretty good. That's a lot of green. And then you just audit. And so you're, all you're doing is just trimming the fat and you just say, all right, cool. This week, I'm going to do less of the red stuff. I'm going to do less by just literally avoiding it by automating it or delegating it. And you just make a decision. You just improve it by one week and you just do that every so often. And if you do that, it's an amazing way to manage, not Your calendar as in like maximizing efficiency, but maximizing your energy so that you feel good and you are when you feel your best, you're going to, you know, perform your best and work your best and be the best version of you.”
