This is a blog I wrote over two years ago. I had forgotten that it was still in draft mode. It is interesting to notice that I am in a different place these days. But nevertheless, here it is!

The old way of thinking is a holdover from the industrial era - more time means more productivity. We need a new yardstick. Very interesting article.
“In their research, Loehr and Schwartz identified four sources of energy—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—and argued that people need to nurture each source to avoid burning out like Hughes. “To be fully engaged,” they wrote, “we must be physically energized, emotionally connected, mentally focused and spiritually aligned with a purpose beyond our immediate self-interest.”
Why you should build your life around energy, not time
As we decouple time from productivity, we need a new productivity yardstick. Increasingly, experts are suggesting that we structure our lives not around time, but energy.

Something very Qigong about this. What appears solid is just one bird at a time lightening.
