An example.

We start the day by doing email.

We spend high energy on low impact tasks.

Hmmm.

If we want better results, we have to marry high energy with high impact.

We make the biggest impact on our business by thinking.

Thinking is hard.

It requires high energy.

One of our rising stars at hiut told me her old boss taught her that the first hour was for getting all her email done.

So that is what she did.

But I told her my view on energy.

And how we only get so much each day.

Now that first hour is for ideas and inspiration.

Because thinking is hard.
