In this episode, I talk about the ten biggest drains on our energy at work, and more importantly, what we can do about them.
From toxic coworkers who sap morale, to noisy environments that make it hard to focus, to ergonomic setups that leave us tired and sore, these small but constant frictions add up. We also face inbox overload, endless meetings, unclear priorities, and the creeping burnout that comes from trying to do it all.
But here’s the good news: every one of these drains has a practical solution. Setting boundaries with difficult colleagues. Using noise-cancelling strategies. Adjusting your workstation for comfort and posture. Streamlining your email. Building better meeting habits. Clarifying what actually matters day-to-day.
The truth is, you don’t need a radical change to reclaim your energy, you need a series of small, intentional shifts. That’s what we dive into today: how to plug the leaks, one by one, and create the conditions for focus, flow, and sustainable energy at work.
