We all know what it’s like to hit that mid-afternoon crash, to push through exhaustion, and to feel like we should be able to just “grind it out.” But here’s the thing—overwork isn’t always the problem. Poor energy management is.And trust me, I say this as someone who has not always been great at this. I don’t have some perfectly structured Pomodoro schedule, and I don’t take breaks every 90 minutes like clockwork. In fact, I think I have ADHD because I either struggle to focus or hyperfixate so hard that I lose track of time completely.So in this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how I manage my energy in a way that actually works for me, including:🔥 The simple shifts I’ve made to protect my energy throughout the day🔥 The telltale signs that my focus is slipping and I need a reset🔥 Why I don’t expect myself to be “on” every day—and how I structure my week accordingly🔥 How I’ve set up my schedule so I can work with my energy instead of against itThis isn’t about a one-size-fits-all system—it’s about learning what actually works for YOU. So if you’re constantly exhausted, feeling drained, or struggling to maintain your focus, this episode is for you.Resources & Links:📌 Join Burnout-Proof Business → coachellyn.com/bpb📌 Grab my FREE Burnout Starter Kit → coachellyn.com/starter-kit📌 Grab my FREE Systems Bundle→ ⁠coachellyn.com/systems-bundle📌 Book a free coffee chat → coachellyn.com/coffeeLet’s keep the conversation going!
