We’ve had days in which we got so much done we surprised ourselves and days where we got into a staring contest with the to-do list and the to-do list didn’t blink. And we’ve also had days that left us puddled on the floor and days that left us pumped up, practically leaping out of our chairs. What differentiates these experiences isn’t the number of hours in the day but the energy we get from the work. Energy makes time.
✏️ An argument being made that energy is what makes time seem inconsistent at different moments and situations. Losing days staring at lists.. other times having so much fun and the hours feel like minutes, etc. 🔗 View Highlight

not doing their art was costing them time, was draining it away, little by little, like a slow but steady leak. They had assumed, wrongly, that there wasn’t enough time in the day to do their art, because they assumed (because we’re conditioned to assume) that every thing we do costs time. But that math doesn’t take energy into account, doesn’t grok that doing things that energize you gives you time back. By doing their art, a whole lot of time suddenly returned. Their art didn’t need more time; their time needed their art.
✏️ An attempt at having us change our perspective. What if re-energizing yourself gave you more time? Not literally obviously, but by shifting your energy, your use of time is shifted as well. Things that would’ve been time-consuming would come off less so, because of the energy available. 🔗 View Highlight

most people have something shaped like that in their lives—some thing that when neglected siphons time and energy away but when attended to delivers it in droves
✏️ The key is knowing what is it that gives you time and energy when you attend to it, and leaks it out when you don’t. 🔗 View Highlight
