So you got to protect it like it's sacred ground.

When you line up your toughest work, your most creative work, your most challenging work with your peak hours of productivity, you get way more done with way less effort.

For me, it's mornings.

It's my deep work.

Do not allow just anybody to come in during your peak time, your peak energy to create and distract you.

The way I think about it is the energy that I put into something is felt out of it by the people consuming it.

So my energy flows where my attention goes.

I can't be distracted if I'm trying to do big things.

Here's a wild thought that I had one day is that early in the morning or late at night, if you think about it, everybody else in the world, they're actually horizontal.

They're sleeping.

They're dreaming.

And I think the reason why most people do the most creative work then is because the connection to their creator is thin, right?

Everybody else is sleeping and they're dreaming so that you can tap into that energy.

I know it's wild.

There may not be any signs to back it up, but I will tell you when I create in the morning connected to my creator, I come up with the most amazing and beautiful and elegant solutions to my biggest problems.

So here are two simple and powerful ways to maximize your energy and protect your peaks.

The first is we have to do an energy audit.

We talked about doing a time audit.

Now we gotta look at energy.

We have to look throughout our week and our day, what are the things that take our energy?
