> Imagine I have 100 Energy Points that keep me going. I might start the day with 100 points and as I go about my day, I’ll start to feel pretty drained and unproductive once I’m below 50. To make matters more challenging, if I haven’t slept well or if I’m stressed out about other things, I might not even start the workday at 100 Energy Points!

I’m really good at being fun and high energy, so many are normally very surprised to learn that I need as much alone time as I can possibly gather to recoup. This is why me being a traveling consultant was amazing. I could pair and present all day and recharge with a dinner by myself and some progress on side projects. That went out the window after COVID and has caused problems.
