Where's My Energy Going?

If you often end the day with nothing left, it helps to see the budget. Estimate how your energy is split across a typical week — not the hours, but the drain. Seeing it on a pie often makes the imbalance obvious.

How to use it: Give each area a rough number for how much of your energy it takes. They don't have to add to exactly 100 — the shape is what matters.

My weekly energy

• Work / study — share of my energy: ____
• Masking / being 'on' — share of my energy: ____
• Home & admin — share of my energy: ____
• People & relationships — share of my energy: ____
• Rest & recovery — share of my energy: ____
• Things I enjoy — share of my energy: ____

Total should come to about 100.

Rebalance

You usually can't cut the big draining slice overnight. Look for one realistic shift.

Rest isn't a reward: Rest belongs in the budget on purpose — not just whatever's left over after everything else.
