A couple of weeks ago, I told you about my 1,563 unread emails.
Today? Iâm down to 103. Not zero yetâbut no longer drowning.
That shift didnât happen because I suddenly became âmore disciplined.â
It happened because I made the first steps to tackle it. (The first step always takes the most energyâbut the return is bigger, because accomplishment gives energy back.) From there, I used that accumulated energy to build systems and new habitsâshaping a new identity. (That part takes energy too, but now youâre not running on empty.)
And hereâs the truth I see with clients all the time:
Most think they want energy to deal with the piles of things left undoneâthe stuff they never had the time or energy to handle before.
But hereâs the problem⊠thatâs just not motivating enough to make you change your habits, let alone life.
Energy grows when youâre pulled by desire, not just pushed by backlog.
So instead of only asking:
đ âHow do I clear the piles?â
Start asking:
đ âWho do I want to be in 6 months⊠a year⊠5 years?â
Let yourself dream beyond the undone tasks. Write it down. Donât judge. Donât edit. Just let it flow.
Then, each morning, read it. Make it part of your morning ritual to generate energy for the day.
At first youâll feel resistanceââIs this even possible? Do I deserve it?â
By week two, youâll feel something different: a spark.
That spark is the energy that makes change inevitable.
And the piles? Theyâll shrink. One shelf, one email, one task at a timeâwhile you walk toward a vision that actually excites you.
