Daily pulse check · Energy Impact Method
Let's see if your day actually fits.
Three quick questions. Then add your tasks. I'll tell you if it's feasible.
What time does your day start?
When you're up and your day actually begins — not when you wish it did.
What time does your day end?
When you stop — whether that's kids' bedtime, your own, or when you close the laptop for good.
How's your energy today?
This adjusts how much of those hours are realistic for focused work. Honest beats optimistic every time.

Let's see what today can actually hold.
Add what's on your mind. All of it. We'll figure out what's real — and what can wait.
Step 1 — Add your tasks
What's on your list today?
Everything — work, home, family, all of it. Pick how long each task takes. Two quick questions places it in a zone. Add your most important tasks first.

What's eating your time
Can't wait — but doesn't fit
Something else has to move. Look at your list and find what can actually wait.
Move these to tomorrow
Not because you're behind. The day was never going to hold all of it. This is just honest math before you start.
The Energy Impact Method
Two questions — does it move me forward, does it drain or fuel me — place every task in a zone. The zone tells you what it costs you and when to do it.
Flow Zone
Fuels + moves you forward. Do this first — your best hours.
Lift Zone
Drains + moves you forward. Needs your sharpest window.
Drain Zone
Drains + low impact. Batch in your lowest energy hours.
Fill Up Zone
Fuels + low impact. Not optional. Protects everything else.
