You are a performance coach specializing in sustainable energy management. Help me stop running on empty.

My Energy Profile:
- When do I feel most energized: [TIME OF DAY]
- When do I crash: [TIME(S) OF DAY]
- Morning energy (1-10): [NUMBER]
- Afternoon energy (1-10): [NUMBER]
- Evening energy (1-10): [NUMBER]
- Sleep quality: [Good / Okay / Poor]
- Exercise: [Type and frequency]
- Diet pattern: [e.g., Skip breakfast, big lunch, snack at night]
- Caffeine: [How much and when]
- Hydration: [Glasses of water per day]
- Biggest energy drains: [Meetings? Certain people? Tasks? Screen time?]
- Work type: [Physical / Desk / Creative / Mixed]

Build my system:

**1. ENERGY AUDIT**
Analyze my 4 energy dimensions:
- Physical energy: [Score and diagnosis]
- Mental energy: [Score and diagnosis]
- Emotional energy: [Score and diagnosis]
- Social energy: [Score and diagnosis — introvert/extrovert considerations]

Identify the #1 drain in each category.

**2. IDEAL DAY ARCHITECTURE**
Design my optimal day structure:
- When to do deep work (peak mental energy)
- When to do admin/meetings (lower cognitive demand)
- When to move/exercise (energy boost timing)
- When to eat (for sustained vs. spike-crash)
- Strategic break schedule (type and duration)

**3. ENERGY BOOSTERS (Ranked by impact)**
| Booster | Impact (1-10) | Effort | When to Use |
|---------|---------------|--------|-------------|

10 specific techniques — not generic 'drink more water'

**4. ENERGY DRAINS TO ELIMINATE OR MINIMIZE**
| Drain | Energy Cost | Can I Eliminate? | Mitigation Strategy |
|-------|-------------|-----------------|--------------------|

**5. NUTRITION FOR ENERGY**
- Breakfast that prevents 10am crash
- Lunch that avoids afternoon slump
- Strategic snacking (what and when)
- Caffeine optimization (not elimination — timing strategy)
- Hydration protocol

**6. WEEKLY ENERGY RHYTHM**
- Which days to front-load hard work
- Recovery days/time built in
- Weekend energy restoration activities
- Monthly 'deep rest' practice

**7. THE 30-DAY ENERGY RESET**
Week 1: [Foundation changes]
Week 2: [Build on foundation]
Week 3: [Optimize]
Week 4: [Automate and maintain]

I'm tired of being tired. Give me a system that works with my biology, not against it.

💡 Pro Tips

  • •Track your energy hourly for 3 days before implementing changes — find your actual pattern
  • •Ask follow-up: 'Design my ideal meeting schedule that protects my peak energy hours'
  • •Energy management > time management. A focused hour beats three exhausted ones.

✨ Example Output

⚡ ENERGY AUDIT:

| Dimension | Score | Primary Drain |
|-----------|-------|---------------|
| Physical | 5/10 | Sedentary desk job + poor lunch choices |
| Mental | 4/10 | Context-switching between 6+ tasks/day |
| Emotional | 6/10 | 2 energy-draining meetings (politics) |
| Social | 7/10 | Introvert — too many back-to-back calls |

🏗️ YOUR IDEAL DAY:
6:30-7:00 — Morning light + movement (10 min walk)
7:00-7:30 — Protein-heavy breakfast (eggs, not cereal)
8:00-10:30 — DEEP WORK BLOCK (your cognitive peak)
10:30-10:45 — Break: stand, stretch, daylight
10:45-12:00 — Medium-focus work (email, planning)
12:00-12:45 — Lunch: protein + vegetables + complex carbs (not pasta/bread-heavy)
12:45-1:00 — 15 min walk (non-negotiable energy reset)
1:00-3:00 — Meetings/collaborative work (your natural social window)
3:00-3:15 — Caffeine-free energy boost: cold water + 2 min stretching
3:15-5:00 — Administrative/lower-demand tasks

☕ CAFFEINE STRATEGY:
- First coffee: 9:30am (not immediately upon waking — let cortisol peak first)
- Last coffee: 1:00pm HARD STOP
- Replace afternoon coffee with: green tea or sparkling water with lemon

🧠 Why This Works

Most people try to solve fatigue with more coffee or more sleep. But energy is four-dimensional: physical, mental, emotional, and social. This prompt audits all four, identifies your specific drains, and builds a day structure that works WITH your natural energy rhythms rather than fighting them. The result is sustained energy without willpower or stimulants.

📅 When to Use This Prompt

When you're chronically tired despite 'adequate' sleep, when afternoon crashes are killing your productivity, when you feel drained by the end of every workday, or when you want to increase output without adding hours (work smarter, not harder/longer).

🎯 What You'll Get

A complete energy management system: optimal daily structure, specific boosters ranked by impact, drain elimination strategies, and a nutrition plan for sustained energy. Most people report significantly better afternoon energy within 1-2 weeks of implementing even half the changes.
