Energy Ledger instead of Time blocking

I'm finally giving up time blocking. It just doesn't work for me. I'm accepting that now. Some things will still be in the calendar but the regular schedule will be off of it.

I have found using energy-based system is much more effective.

• 3 energy for big task, can only exist per day

• 2 energy for medium task

• 1 energy for small tasks, like maintenance

• 0 / +1 energy for things that gives energy

• You don't assign when, you assign what should exist for the day

• Never chain two 3-energy days

• Ask yourself: "Do I want this to be a 3-day, a 2-day, or a recovery day?"

Notes for self

Things I realized while doing this

• You may not be time bound anymore but whatever you do in the day will eat the supposed energy you originally allocated for something. That means, it might not be time, if you do something else on 2pm, the hours you will take on that thing will eat the supposed time and energy for the one you chose to exist that day.
  • Take it as something you will really lose. You cannot win everything and just accept that. Don't compromise things like sleep or food, it's very simple, you do something you are not supposed to be doing, you will lose the opportunity to access the thing you committed on that day.
