Energy
Starts with Health
The biggest way to increase your overall energy levels is of course to take care
of your health. You already know this, but keys to productivity include: •
Getting enough sleep •
Minimizing alcohol •
Minimizing
caffeine,
especially late in the day •
Eating more whole foods and fewer processed
foods •
Maintaining a healthy weight •
Drinking a lot of water •
Exercising daily (a 20-minute power walk counts!)
In Their Own Words…
For me, it’s a daily workout during my lunch hour that keeps me sane. On most days, by 1:00 p.m. I have
already put in about seven hours of work. At that time, it’s a no-brainer that I need to recharge and
refresh so that I can handle the second half of my day with the same focus and energy as I did the first
half.

and the more success I seem to attract.
