In reply to Vicky Vaswani. Good point. For me, there’s no such thing. But that’s personal. I’m a black/white person. It’s either high energy or not. It’s like the Derek Sivers thing, either hell yes or NO. I find that ‘the middle’ doesn’t exist. It’s the basic premise of Richard Koch’s book too.

Question :

Is there such a thing as MEDIUM ENERGY stuff? What are some examples of stuff that neither gives or drains your energy? And is MEDIUM ENERGY stuff a good thing or a bad/boring thing? Would love to know your thoughts! :)

yes I like the idea of doing what gives you more energy or improves mood which allows for more energy …then maybe I can better tolerate the stuff that must be done regardless

“So it’s not about avoiding hard things. It’s about looking at the results activities have on your mood.”

Really like this! I think people are misunderstanding what it is to do good work and the good feelings that come AFTER the work. Everyone is told “do what makes you happy” and I agree but it seems like the moment it gets a bit tough or uncomfortable they think “oh this isn’t making me happy I better quit”.

Overall I really enjoyed the concept of looking at what is giving or draining energy, really good way to evaluate life!
