The Energy Impact Method
Type what's in your head. Sort it by energy. See your three.
What's in your head?
Type one thing, hit Enter. Work, home, family, personal — all of it. Keep going until your head is quieter.
- Job — the active list, deadlines, what your manager's waiting on
- Business or side project — what's in motion, what's stalled
- Home — logistics, appointments, stuff nobody else tracks
- Family — kids, partner, parents, emotional temperature
- Money — invoices, bills, taxes, things you've been avoiding
- Health — yours, theirs, appointments, quiet worries
- Relationships — texts unreturned, people you miss
- You — thoughts you circle, things you haven't said, dreams you don't tell
Place each item by energy impact.
Two questions per item — does it fuel or drain you, and does it move you forward? That's the whole method.
Lift
0Hard but matters. Growth Lifts live here too. Schedule for sharpest hours.
Flow
0Fuels you AND moves you forward. Protect these.
Drain
0Costs energy, moves nothing forward. Batch, delegate, or drop.
Fill Up
0Recharges you. Low stakes. Honor it — not optional.
Here's the shape of what you're carrying.
Costs energy and isn't moving you forward.
Your Flow and Fill Up — the parts worth protecting.
The matrix above shows you the what. This shows you the weight. The 7-day Energy Impact challenge is the next step — where you take this from awareness into a week that runs on your Flow and Lifts, not your Drains.
