Energy Management

I realized that time management no longer appeared to be

The major issue in my life, but instead management of energy

Had become the problem for which I had no solution

In my busy life on multiple fronts, the execution

Of different tasks in a timely manner I had managed to nail

But optimizing my energy while doing so was something in which I failed..

I was doing everything, but felt constantly depleted

Even when I had time, rest did not leave my energy stores repleted

*

To prevent full scale burnout, I have to learn to conserve

My energy, for my sanity to stay preserved

I have to pace myself to allow room for rest and rejuvenation

It is easier said than done, that has been my realization

All the negativity around me serves to drain

My energy stores, making it hard for me to maintain

A state of optimal energetic efficiency

A paucity of energy, not time, is the Achilles heel for me..
