Time Management Vs Energy Management (Episode #172 - Musings)
About this episode
In the long-term is it better to be more focused upon the management of your time or energy? In this episode of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: why it can be stressful to always be trying to be the most efficient possible, why we both have changed our opinion on time & energy, the difference between long-term and long-long-term, why actively asking for constructive criticism is important, a couple of work stories to emphasise the point, our personal strategy for dishing out advice/feedback & the approaching darkness ooohohohohoooooh.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
