#14 - Stop Managing Time. Start Managing Energy

Show Notes:

We’re all told to “manage our time,” but time is finite — and none of us knows how much of it we have. In this reflective episode, host Steve Arendt challenges the popular idea of time management and makes the case for something more powerful: energy management and productivity focus.

Drawing from a personal story about two very different legacies, Steve shows how thinking about time as a precious, non-renewable resource can transform the way you live, work, and lead. Instead of cramming your calendar, learn how to direct your best energy into the highest-value activities — and build a life and business you’re proud of.

Key Takeaways:

• Time is finite — we can’t manage it, but we can manage how we use it

• Why energy management often beats time management

• The importance of the 80/20 rule in identifying your highest-value activities

• How legacy is built from relationships, not just accomplishments

• How to trade money for time intentionally and avoid the “always busy” trap
