To achieve focus and make time for what matters, your brain needs energy, and that energy comes from taking care of your body.
That’s why the third component of Make Time is to charge your battery with exercise, food, sleep, quiet, and face-to-face time. It’s not as hard as it might sound.

The Energize section contains many tactics you can choose from, including sneaking a nap, giving yourself partial credit for exercise, and learning how to use caffeine strategically. We won’t ask you to become a fitness freak or adopt a wacky diet. Instead, we’ll offer simple shifts you can make for the immediate reward of having energy for the things you want to do.
