Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Change management & wellness
I recently read an article on mapping your personal energy levels. The gist is to manage your energy not your time. Hmmm. That’s an intriguing notion. The idea of filling in boxes via pen & paper to try & map my energy filled me with dread though. Inspired by the ah ha I had on […]
