Episode notes
Energy Is More Valuable Than Time
- Energy, not time, is our most precious resource for performance.
- J.R. Briggs highlights Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz's paradigm: manage energy capacity and rhythms rather than just scheduling time.
Four Sources Power Full Engagement
- Full engagement requires four energy sources: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
- Briggs quotes the authors' framework that engagement means being physically energized, emotionally connected, mentally focused, and spiritually aligned.

- Most people are undertrained physically and spiritually and overtrained mentally and emotionally.
- The new paradigm urges seeking appropriate stress, sprint cycles, productive downtime, purpose-driven performance, and rituals.
