EP #196: 3 Types of Energy You Should Understand with Bob DePasquale

You can plan your energy.

I have three types of energy that I consider throughout my day. 

The first is external.  This is the stuff you can find to pump you up for a short period of time.  It comes from other people.

The second is created internal.  These are things that you do that result in an energized state (i.e. a workout).

The final is inherent internal.  This type of energy is most relizble and can be well predicetd.  It shuold be used consistently during those times where you're otherwise lacking energy.

This episode dives into how each of these should be used and provides some suggestions for buidling a calendar around your energy.

Have a generous day.
