9. Engagement and Energy: Fuel your career with passion.

Published On: 7 October 2024Categories: Career, Resilience

Engagement and Energy are powerful signals to help guide your career, especially when the path ahead is uncertain.  When you’re fully engaged, time seems to stand still, and you experience flow, clarity, and fulfilment.  Some tasks fuel your energy, while others drain it.  Optimising for engagement and energy is key to creating a fulfilling personal and professional life that leaves a lasting legacy.

Awareness:

  • When do you feel bored or disinterested at work? What tasks are you doing during those times?
  • When do you feel excited and energised at work? – What activities are sparking that energy?
  • Reflect on what naturally draws your interest, whether it’s through the people you listen to, the books you read, the TV shows you watch, or the events you attend.

Agency:

  • Track your daily engagement and energy for 1-3 weeks using the Good Time Journal to discover patterns that lead to your flow state.
  • What small adjustments can you make to your routine to boost your energy and engagement?
  • Identify one task you could delegate or reshape to enhance your daily energy levels.
