Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time (Harvard Business Review)

Advances in the science of stamina mean individuals, teams and whole organizations can significantly increase their capacity to get things done through straightforward interventions, rather than through ever longer hours that lead to burnout. Steve Wanner, a 37-year-old partner at Ernst & Young with four young children, illustrates the problem: when he was met a year earlier, he was working 12- to 14-hour days, felt perpetually exhausted, slept poorly, did not exercise, and seldom ate healthy meals.
