In this episode, Paula shares her thoughts on the debate between time management and energy management. Paula reflects on a recent discussion she heard about the shift from time management being the gold standard to energy management taking the lead and explores how both concepts are crucial for productivity and well-being, ultimately arguing that they complement each other rather than compete. Highlights Effectively managing time creates the space needed for energy management practices. Without time awareness, maximising energy becomes challenging. Balancing time and energy is essential for achieving high performance. Each person has different brain thinking styles, affecting how they approach tasks and manage time and energy. Recognising your thinking patterns can enhance your efficiency and enjoyment in business. Learn a little about different brain thinking styles and their impact on productivity.
