Managing Energy

During a virtual meeting with the local Silicon Slopes chapter in Utah, where Nichole joined their leadership team for the marketing chapter, the group discussed adding an additional person to the team and morning routines. One committee member talked about managing his energy, and how you can't show up to things if you aren't managing your energy. Nichole realized that this was the one thing that could throw off even the best time management planning. She was hard on herself because she believed that planning her day better, time-blocking more, or doing all the different things could make her day easier or less stressful. Nichole loved that the committee member talked about energy factor and how it resonated with her. Being a female, Nichole recognized that we are cyclical beings and that the world is created for the male cycle of 24 hours. She used the analogy of the typical male as the sun and the female as the moon, and the cycles of the sun and the moon. As females, we are not able to show up with the same amount of energy to everything every day, and there are times when we have extremely low energy and times when we can take on all the things. Nichole encourages everyone to be thoughtful and aware of how they're showing up to everything with energy and not just because it's another thing on their calendar or to-do list. Companies are providing more autonomy to their team members to get work done when they want to or aren't capable of doing it, recognizing that energy can ebb and flow throughout a given day and month. Nichole wants everyone to take the message and reflect on their day-by-day and week-by-week, record their energy, and accommodate the work expected to get done around their energy.
