In the book
Full engagement in anything that matters requires drawing on four separate but connected sources of energy: the physical, the emotional, the mental, and the spiritual. Performance, health, and happiness all rest on the skillful management of these, and the truth that took me far too long to learn is this: the resource to manage is not your time but your energy. You can have all the hours in the world and accomplish nothing if the tanks are dry. […] So here is how to fly fully fueled — first the mindset, then the practice. The mindset is the one I keep returning to: manage your energy, not merely your time; recognize the true cost of the behaviors that deplete you, and then deliberately replace them. Lasting change in any tank follows one pattern — Purpose, then Truth, then Action: anchor to why it matters, face honestly where you actually are, and only then move. — Fuel (Energy)
