Jacob, first, I'm really enjoying your posts; the bits and hits of inspiration, and the energy and zest behind them are helping me keep my momentum.
Also, I love the Energy Project. Managing our energy not our time… It's a beautiful concept and pragmatic as well.
Another book, from the coauthor of The Power Of Full Engagement, Jim Loehr, should be added to the list of To Reads; it's the The Power of Story and it is a fantastic addition to what was said here.
A quote just to give you a taste, "The most important story you will ever tell about your self, is the story you tell TO yourself."
Thanks again,
Emeric
Emeric,
Thanx for the warm words and thrilled that Sensophy's posts speak to you!
Also, appreciate your comment and the articulation of your ideas. 🙂
Jim's book looks fascinating – what was your biggest take away from the book?
The Journey To Freedom…
The takeaway from The Power of Story, well there are many, but to give you an idea of the power of this process I’ll briefly touch on a major concept that resonated for me and might resonate for you too; it’s indoctrination.
We all have programs running through our bodies and brains, habits, patterns and conditioning that make we take to be us, or the person we ‘behave’ as.
These patterns collectively make up what we call our lives; but they actually come from the conditioning and the indoctrination of our universities, the government, the church, the media, and our family and friends; it is in us.
It controls us.
How do we break free from it? First you must Acknowledge this Truth…
…then you do as Jim Loehr suggests in The Power of Story, you indoctrinate yourself with the story you author, you write it.
So how do you re-indoctrinate your self? Re-write your story; change your brain by using your mind.
Wash your brain by building your self-awareness, by waking up to the way you exist in the world and develop hyper awareness of how the world pushes, flows, or obstructs you.
That’s a challenge.
Sincerely,
Emeric
DUDE. That is *SO* dope! 🙂
Love thinking/playing along those lines – thanx for sharing!

Great video Jacob! I've been watching your blog on and off since early 2011 and i'm really glad to see all of the wonderful progress you've made. Very inspiring to see how consistent you've been and I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Thanx Jane! Glad you've been part of the journey – excited to be a part of yours! 🙂
Yo Jacob!
Loved the idea of rejuvenation breaks, so simple and so overlooked! Definitely something I've been lacking..
Thank you!!
Awesome bro. They're a *must* for me. 🙂
Enjoy the nap!
I love your energy and enthusiasm Jacob. And your unscripted speaking skills are superior. I could not help but to notice, however, how many times you mentioned time/schedule in that video. Although I agree with the whole energy concept, this still sounds an awful lot like time management. If one cannot carve out time and schedule vast expanses of time to use or focus their energies, then one can forget getting anything done.
Hey Adam – thanx for the sweet feedback and warm words. 🙂

As for time management, whatever works for you is what I'd encourage you to rock with! We could frame the "time-management" concept as using time to manage our activities with an emphasis on including rejuvenation points.
Personally, I can't really manage my time/productivity without being conscious of my energy levels. If I could, I'd just schedule a solid straight 10 hours to write dope blog posts. Wishful thinking. 🙂
So I stay super conscious of rejuvenation with naps, food intake, hydration, meditation, exercise, socialization, etc…
What methodology have you found most resonant in your own life?
How do I get my avatar up on this site, Jacob? Please excuse my ignorance.
Your methodology is obviously working, man. I keep my life and my habits very simple so that when I need to give a little more time/effort to something, I can without blowing up my day or part of my day. I also set timers for some activities so I don;t get carried away. Which prevents me from having to use timers when they are not wanted, like when I am composing or writing. Have a good night!
Awesome sauce, bro.
