That is a plan.

Not a perfect plan.

A useful one.

And useful is the standard around here.

Weekend Power Deposit:
Create one energy management plan that identifies drains, returns, best-energy work, low-energy tasks, and one recovery rule.

Prompt:
Can I make better business decisions by noticing what drains me, what restores me, and what kind of work needs my best energy?
