Hey there productivity seekers. This is Hazel, and I'm so glad you're here today.

Let's talk about something real. Right now, in this moment on June 28th, 2025, I know you're feeling that familiar productivity challenge. Maybe your to-do list feels like a mountain that keeps growing, or your energy is scattered like leaves in an autumn wind. You want breakthrough strategies that actually work in a world that seems designed to distract you.

Today, I want to introduce you to what I call the "Energy Mapping" technique. Imagine your productivity not as a rigid schedule, but as a dynamic ecosystem where your energy naturally flows and peaks.

Most people approach productivity backwards. They try to force themselves through tasks when their natural energy is low. Instead, I want you to become a detective of your own rhythms.

Here's how. For the next week, create a simple energy journal. Nothing complicated just a quick note every two hours tracking your energy level on a scale of 1 to 10. When do you feel most alive? Most focused? Most creative?

These aren't just random moments. They're your personal productivity sweet spots.

Once you map these, you'll start scheduling your most complex work during your peak energy windows. Writing that report during your 10 AM power zone. Doing creative brainstorming when you naturally feel most inspired.

Three bonus tips to amplify this approach:

First, protect your peak energy times like treasure. Treat them as non-negotiable appointments with yourself.

Second, create small transition rituals between tasks. Maybe a 5 minute walk. A quick meditation. Something that signals to your brain we're shifting gears.

Third, stop multitasking. It's a productivity myth. Your brain does best with focused, intentional work.

Before you go, here's your daily challenge: Map just one day this week. Notice your energy. No judgment. Just observation.

Small shifts create massive transformations. You've got this.

Talk to you soon.
