"Where you invest your love, you invest your life." - 🎵 Mumford & Sons

In many ways it is just that simple.

Sometimes our priorities and actions don't match up, though:

“Don’t tell me your priorities. Show me your calendar.” — Shane Parrish

Time blocking is a great first step that many don't take, but it leaves out a crucial ingredient:

The real currency of life is energy ⚡️

Dr. Jim Loehr elaborates:

"I began to learn that our most important resource as human beings is not time. We were fed a bill of goods when the time management industry said that if you want to be successful, the most important thing you need to do is to carve out time, align it with your deepest values and just devote time to those highest priorities.

Because I could watch athletes competing, playing, practicing, and it wasn’t amount of time that they spent, it was the energy they brought to the time they had aligned with what the objective was. And I said, the most precious resource we have is not time but energy. We are vessels of energy. And as long as we have energy, we can have an impact. And I began to realize that every time you invest energy in something, you spawn growth. If you give a lot of energy to sarcasm and cynicism, and scapegoating what’s going on, those grow in your life."

Check your calendar, check your energy, where is it all going?
