If you ever feel like some parts of your work turbocharge your day while other parts leave you running on empty, it might be time for an energy audit.

This exercise can be a game-changer if you feel unmotivated or uninspired by your work. Here’s how to do it.

Reflect on your typical workday. Which tasks make you feel like you’re winning the Grand Prix, and which have you crawling to the pit stop? Write down all the tasks you perform on a typical day.

First, let’s find all of the energy drainers

Write down all of the tasks that:
• Turn minutes into hours
• Feel like you’re slogging through mud
• Leave you completely exhausted

Now, let’s find your power-ups! 

List the aspects of your job that give you an energy boost

Identify tasks that:
• Make time fly by
• Inject a burst of energy into your day
• Make you feel invincible and accomplished

Here’s a visual to help you map this out
