The #1 Productivity Hack You’ve Probably Never Tried: Track Your ENERGY, Not Just Your Tasks

May 27, 20252 min read

What if the reason you’re feeling stuck, tired, or uninspired isn’t that you’re lazy or unmotivated… but that you’ve been managing your time and tasks — not your energy?


You’ve probably tried every productivity planner, goal tracker, and morning routine under the sun. But if you’re still running out of steam midweek (or mid-morning), it’s time to flip the script.

Here’s the truth: Your energy is your greatest currency.

That’s what I realized after interviewing energy coach Olena Sadoma, who shared a simple but powerful shift that changed everything for me: Start tracking how you feel throughout your day — not just what you do.

Most planners tell you what to do.
This one tells you when you’ll actually have the power to do it.

Here’s the short version of what we covered:

  • You rate your energy every hour from 1–10.

  • Then, you connect the dots (literally) and start noticing patterns.

  • You’ll discover things like:

    • Who drains your energy (even if you love them)

    • What tasks secretly fuel you (hello, dishes)

    • When you’re most productive (spoiler: it might not be 9 to 5)

This is about more than self-care. It’s about energy alignment.

  • When you’re energetically full, you say yes to things you’ve been avoiding.

  • You upgrade your life instead of dragging yourself through it.

  • You stop “powering through” and start powering up.

We even talked about how “discipline” actually means punishment (seriously, look it up), and how most of us are accidentally punishing ourselves in the name of productivity.

This free Energy Planner is unlike anything I’ve used before. I was skeptical at first (like, very), but when I tried it, I saw things I hadn’t noticed in 48 years.

If you’re feeling off, stuck, or like your life is technically “fine” but doesn’t feel like yours… this is your sign.

Download the free planner and start tracking your energy for one week.
Then DM me or comment below with your “blinding flash of the obvious” moment. I want to hear it.

Because you’re not lazy. You’re just running on the wrong kind of fuel.
