Time and Energy go together.

I was amazed to see the commonality among successful professionals. one of the uniqueness these people have; is managing their time.  These are the people you will find them full of energy. Ready to take up new challenges or face uphill tasks.

Due to High energy, many people misunderstand them as dominant.  Once you start working with them for a month or so you know them well. In fact many will be very soft from inside.

These are the people who get boost from the work or performance especially team work.

Time and Energy if managed together, it leads to performance which many will not even dream.

When I met Sanjay after around a year, he was not looking at his best. I casually asked him, is he not well. He answered everything is well. But he is spending lot of time in office due to too much work. It seems most of the people have long hours. How can one come out of this situation?

I asked Sanjay what you do when you come home. His answer was nothing specific. He is tired, so he relaxes and after dinner hit the bed.

After casual chat he wanted to know if there is any way out. I refrained from giving advice. Instead knowing him well, asked him to do something which he likes the most. And there you go, he became happy with the thought of his favorite things. but complained too many things I like but no time.

I do not want to push this matter to the wall and decided to give him a hint / tip. Suggested him to buy flowers or sweets or chocolates daily while returning home. After getting positive nod I requested him to meet me after a week or two.

As decided we met after two weeks. He was eager to share story. One soft and positive action changed the energy cycle. This time he was all ears to listen and open for coaching session.

Coaching sessions for Time management begun and he came up with multiple actionable points. Since he was open and willing to change it became easier to implement most of them. Ultimately it resulted in better time and energy management.
