The document discusses managing energy for high performance. It identifies four components of energy - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. For physical energy, it recommends getting enough sleep, eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, and taking breaks every 90 minutes. For mental energy, it advises focusing on one task at a time instead of multitasking. Maintaining positive emotions and a sense of purpose are also described as important for high performance.

Employee Performance is THE most important problem facing companies and the United States today.
Why?
Labor has been a source of competitive advantage for the United states for a long time. If we loose our competitive advantage, we will loose our ability to prosper as individuals and as a country. It will accelerate our race to the bottom.

Break down the slide
The reality is that our bodies are designed to work in waves of 90 minutes.
This is known as the Ultradian Rhythm, renewing or refueling yourself at least every 90 minutes.
You shouldn't work for more than 90 minutes continuously because you will suboptimal after that period.
Work on your most important task for 60-90 minutes
Take cues from your body – when you find your concentration and energy begin to falter, it’s a good sine your hitting a low point

Emotional Energy = the Quality of your energy (how your feel) CLICK
Mental Energy – The Focus of your energy CLICK
Spiritual energy = Energy derived from purpose. CLICK
All four of these sources of energy interact with each other. CLICK
that none of them is sufficient by itself, and that all of them influence one another. The Energy Project is about what it requires, what it takes to be more wholly human. There are two primary components of that.

that none of them is sufficient by itself, and that all of them influence one another. The Energy Project is about what it requires, what it takes to be more wholly human. There are two primary components of that.
There are four components of physical energy
They are very, very specific and concrete
Sleep, is the foundation of physical energy, and if you don't get enough sleep it almost doesn't matter what else you do to increase your physical energy
Nutrition,
Fitness - the ability to transport oxygen and energy through your body,
Rest - the refueling of your energy throughout the day
Managing and optimizing these components of Energy is crucial for maximizing your productivity and achieving extraordinary results.
Jeff Bezios get’s 8 Hours of sleep each night
Let's start with sleep.
How many people got 8 hours of sleep last night? Less than 8 hours? More than 8 hours?
Science tells us 95% of all human beings require at least seven to eight hours of sleep to function optimally.
2.5% of the population require more than eight hours.
This means 97.5% need 8+ hours of sleep.
Getting enough sleep is the most important aspect of energy management
if you get enough sleep, it will cover all kinds of other mistakes you make or failures you have in managing other aspects of your energy
Not enough sleep
increases Mistakes
Lowers your IQ – Your brain actually detoxes during sleep.
Crankiness (erodes leadership and relationships)
So if you want to be at the top of your game, be aware and take steps to ensure you get a solid 8 hours of sleep every day

There's sleep, which is the foundation of physical energy, so if you don't get enough sleep it almost doesn't matter what else you do to increase your physical energy
There's nutrition,
Fitness - the ability to transport oxygen and energy through your body,
and finally, Rest. Meaning,, the refueling of your energy across a day.
Managing and optimizing these components of Energy is crucial for maximizing your productivity and achieving extraordinary results.
Nutrition is a hornets nest. No one every agrees?
Do I follow the Weight Watchers Diet, Count Points, Is it Paleao? Do I go to South beach? What about Mediterranean? How many calories do I need?
However, one thing everyone agrees on is SUGAR IS BAD
We know that sugar doesn't serve you well. It causes diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's, heart disease and more
Sugar, from an energy perspective, is something that causes, as we all know from our experience, big jumps in energy and then deep crashes in energy.
From a productivity standpoint we want to avoid these extreme fluctuations in our sugar levels.
Beyond that, what we are looking for when we think about nutrition is what is it that leaves you feeling sustainably energized?

What do fortune 500 CEO’s have in common?
Not that they went to ivy league schools, nor that they were born into wealthy families, BUT THEY EXERCISE EVERY DAY.
It’s about being a stronger version of you.
Transition Slide for Fitness
Fitness – The ability to transport oxygen and energy throughout your body.
Fitness can be defined as the speed of recovery. So, the fitter you are, the faster you recover.
This is important because during the day your energy becomes depleted and needs to be restored.
The fitter you are the faster you can re-energize yourself.
So copy the example of your Fortune 500 CEO’s.. Exercise Every day
Everyone needs 30 minutes of exercise every day.
Slows the aging process, helps prevent heart disease, fights diabetes and more
Find an exercise you like doing and do it everyday.
Teams will work on a 30 minute team walk so make sure employees don’t feel guilty taking the extra 30 minutes.. Place this event (and lunch) to occur every day at the same time
They will discuss work
They will generate new ideas
They will network.
Organizations will benefit from the 30 minutes with improved creativity and productivity. Employees experience the health benefits
Why? Interval training trains the body to recover faster
This book was written by Dr. OZ and is great way to learn to live linger and take care of yourself
And finally, there's rest. So, rest is something that we haven't valued as a culture.
We don't value it in organizations, we don't value it in our lives, and we’re
forever willing to get up one hour earlier or stay up an hour later if we think it will allow us to get one more hour of work done,

Define Emotional Energy
As it turns out there are four ways that people feel across the course of a day.
We feel good or what we will say is the High Performance Zone. Not AutoZone. The High Performance Zone. The place of maximum productivity and is where you and your employees need to be.
Now a number of things at work or in our lives that cause stress can move us into the Survival Zone. This is where you are working so hard just to:
Survive
Meet a deadline
Get a promotion
IF YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TO DO.
What happens in the survival zone? We become Angry, Irritable, Frustrated, worried, and defensive.
So next time you notice yourself, collogues and kids display this type behavior, realize they are in the survival zone and try to help them out.
Burnout zone – Who has ever been burnt out? If we want to always be in the High Performance zone there will come a time where our energy will be depleted. Just like a fighter jet needs to refuel; so do you. If you do not manager your energy (and we know most people done,, you will enter the burnout zone.
Low energy
Negative emotions
We can avoid the Survival and Burnout zone by making the conscious decision to rest when we notice our energy is dropping.
This allows us to move between the Performance Zone and what we call the Renewal Zone
If were are not depleting ourselves because we are resting, when an unexpected events arises, we will be more likely avoid the Survival and Burnout Zones and Maint our high performance.
You can create a personal Emotional energy graph to hang in your cube by asking yourself.

8 second attention span
You now have the attention span of a gold Fish https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/22/opinion/the-eight-second-attention-span.html
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/22/opinion/the-eight-second-attention-span.html
The key to training attention is building into your day periods during which you are 100% absorbed, or at least making the effort to be 100% absorbed without distraction.
And the key to that is designating a start time and a stop time. The anxiety of thinking that you have to be fully absorbed indefinitely will overwhelm your ability to do that very quickly. So, one of the most important strategies that we have given to people, and it's one I've had in my own life as a ritual for over 15 years, is
Particularly concentration meditation where the goal is simply to focus on one thing at a time. That's actually the definition of meditation, the ability to focus on one thing at a time.

Spiritual Energy is energy derived from a purpose.
We are motivated by Purpose every day. Save the Whales! Help Hurricane Victims! Learn a new Skill!
The lawyers and educators always want me to replace spiritual with purposeful. However the majority historical research and BUSINESS literature on this topic is usually label Spiritual Energy so it is misleading to use a word like purposeful. More on that later.
Spiritual Energy – Energy derived from purpose
This is not about religion or spreading your religious beliefs in the workplace ….
However - religion and spirituality give 87% of the population a purpose we should ignore the inter-relationship (Gallup)
My purpose is “to make the world a better place” comes and is supported from my religious beliefs.
Purpose - The Golden Rule - Treat others like you want to be treated
Empowerment - “I can do all things thru Christ who give me strength” If god is for us who can be against us
Give me Spiritual energy knowing I the ultimate team member with unlimited resources supporting me.
Other purposes that drive exceptional performance.
Save the whales. Save the planet. Stop Global Warming
Purposeful energy reduces fear and other negative Emotional traits allowing you to stay out of the Panic and Burnout zones!
Discuss the accomplishments of King and the Purpose of creating the Everything store.
Research on this Began in the 1990’s
Shift from the materialistic to spiritualist ones
EMPLOYEE BENFITS in turn support an organizations performance.
It’s the deciding factor in values.
Values influence our actions in and out of the office.
Starting in the early ‘90s an overwhelming number of studies began examining how spirituality influenced productivity in an organizational setting. Consequentially, during this period there was also an ideological shift in how organizations were managed. There was a general movement toward putting employee quality of life on par, or even above, economics. Chief among these changes was shifting from materialistic priorities to spiritualistic ones.
Three best sellers supporting the use of Spiritual or Purposeful Energy in the workplace.
Remember many studies starting in the 1990’s support this.
Don’t take any with people who tell you not to talk about it!

So, I've just shared with you what I hope is a new way of thinking about how to manage your life and your team.
I've talked about four sources of energy, four reservoirs of energy that are critical to you if you're going to fully realize your own potential.
Physical, emotional, mental, spiritual
