What exactly is mental energy? A good definition can be found at PubMed.gov and can be described as \u201c . . . the ability or willingness to engage in cognitive work.\u201d Why is this important what can you do to manage your mental energy?<\/p>\n

Importance of Mental Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using your mental energy wisely can help you to make better decisions, both at work and at home. From a technical perspective, especially for someone who is considered a \u201cknowledge worker,\u201d the quality and quantity or your work will increase. Better decisions equate to more success.<\/p>\n

5 Ways to Increase & Conserve Your Mental Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get enough sleep, especially good quality sleep.<\/li>\n
  2. Exercise consistently. It does not have to be an hour each day, but get your body moving. And of course eat healthier.<\/li>\n
  3. Focus on one thing at a time. Better yet, minimize the number of tasks that you handle each day to focus on what\u2019s most important.<\/li>\n
  4. Minimize tasks that drain your energy levels, both physically and mentally. Delegate these items and on the personal side, get someone else to do them.<\/li>\n
  5. Take a deep breath and say a prayer when dealing with difficult people. You can try to avoid them, but more will eventually show up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
