Energy management, simply put, refers to how one manages their energy, not only their time. This can look like
1) Pursue what you love. Passion is energy; it's much easier to stay motivated over something you are passionate about.
2) Do the most difficult work in the mornings when you are well rested and have the most energy. This flips our instinct which is to move towards pleasure away from pain. Studies have found that people are most effective when they delay gratification.
3) Practice or work intensely. Work hard for 90 minutes, then take a break. The greatest performers only practice for 4.5 hours a day. In other words, short and hard shows better results than long and dragging.
4) Take frequent breaks so to give your brain the capacity to integrate the new learnings or practices.
5) Turn your practices into rituals (same time, same sequence, etc) so that they become automatic and you don't have to waste energy thinking about doing them.
