Working toward my goals is energizing!

Some of it is energising and some of it is a slog, and telling which is which is more useful than pretending it's all fuel.

Pay attention to how you feel forty minutes in. Certain tasks leave you lighter than they found you; others drain you in a way sleep doesn't fix. That difference is data about the direction, not just the day.

Build more of the week around the first kind. And notice: those are often the ones you procrastinate hardest on starting.
