Avoid energy robbers
Energy and persistence conquer all things.
—BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
—ARISTOTLE
Your energy is crucial for boosting you toward your goals and
happiness. There are some things in your life that drain your energy
and then there are things that add energy. Don’t underestimate the
importance of energy and keep it up! In my coaching processes, we
put a lot of emphasis on activities that bring energy and cut loose
things that drain energy out of my clients’ lives. When you operate
on low energy, you don’t feel good, you are not happy, you send out
low vibes, and chances are that you will attract what you are
sending! Stop doing or exposing yourself to things that drain your
energy like unhealthy eating habits, alcohol, drugs, caffeine, sugar,
tobacco, lack of exercise, negativity, sarcasm, unfocused goals, the
news and tabloid newspapers, among others. All these things drain
your energy. And beware of the “energy vampires” amongst your
colleagues, friends, and even family. Why would you spend time with
people that only drain you? Become very selfish on how you manage
your energy:
• Eliminate all distractions.
• Finish your unfinished business.
• Work on your tolerations. (See Chapter 29)
• Say goodbye to all energy-robbing people and relationships.

Manage your time
There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently
that which should not be done at all.
—PETER F. DRUCKER
Do you work lots of overtime and still don’t have time for everything
you need to do? Are you one of those people that would love to have
28 hours in a day? Well, unfortunately you also have only 24 hours
like everybody else on this planet. Oh and I’m sorry, I forgot: There is
no such thing as time management! You can’t manage time. What
you can do is use your time wisely and manage your priorities
