Good morning and welcome to the Increase Impec Podcast. I'm Justin Su, episode 1,999. I recently heard a quote by George Mack, and he says this,

if you don't schedule actions that produce energy, assume they'll never happen. If you don't monitor actions that drain energy, assume they'll keep happening.

All low agency roads, all low agency roads leads to entropy.

In other words, the things that, if you just let things happen, it's always going to go towards chaos.

It's always going to naturally go towards the worst version of yourself.

In order to become the best version of yourself, in order to surround yourself by fountains

and not drains, in order to maximize your time, your energy, and your attention, it's going

to take effort. And I really like this quote. And I think that it's true.

If you don't schedule those things that bring you energy, they're not going to happen.

And if you don't monitor actions that drain energy, they're going to keep happening.

So my question for you today is, what are those things in your life and who are the people in your life that produce energy?

And what are the things in your life and the people in your life that drain energy?

Now, I've said this before.

We're not trying to label people as energy suckers or drains or fountains.

We all have drain and fountain tendencies.

We all have that.

However, as you take a look at your life, you can be intentional on who you're around

and what activities you do, but it comes down to planning and really taking a look at

these things, these events

that help you rather than hurt you. So again, the question, what are those activities that

produce energy? What are those activities that drain energy? Pay attention to them, monitor them,

monitor them, monitor them, and then plan to execute on those things.
