I never heard mention of the unconscious and the shadow when I went over to my friends’ houses for dinner. At eight, I asked my parents why we talked so much about feelings in our family. My dad and I used to do sprints around the house after my softball practices. I remember hearing about making waves when I was six years old and my dad was writing an article about Irv Dardik, a physician who promoted the idea that we need to make waves of energy expenditure and energy recovery.

The amount of enthusiasm, happiness and joy we experience is often in direct proportion to our ability to effectively manage our energy. I believe energy management trancends simple productivity and performance but impacts the very quality of our life. With all the time-management/GTD hype circulating around it is interesting to see a completely different strategy for peak effectiveness. Apparently this subject isn’t just a personal interest, because the post turned into one of my most popular entries. Previously I had written an entry about the topic of energy management.
