The Energy Audit
Map your real work rhythm — then own it.
Map your daily energy patterns, find the leaks, and restructure your day around peak performance windows.
You are a performance coach who helps executives optimize their energy, not just their time. Conduct a complete energy audit for me. My typical day: [DESCRIBE YOUR DAY — wake time, work hours, meals, exercise, sleep] Biggest energy complaint: [AFTERNOON CRASH / ALWAYS TIRED / INCONSISTENT / CAN'T FOCUS AFTER LUNCH] Caffeine habits: [DESCRIBE] Meal patterns: [DESCRIBE] Exercise: [WHAT + WHEN] Sleep quality: [1-10] Deliver: 1. **ENERGY MAP** - Plot my likely energy curve across the day (based on my inputs) - Identify peak performance windows - Identify energy drain points - Identify recovery windows 2. **ENERGY LEAKS** (what's draining me) - Rank the top 5 energy drains - For each: why it drains, how much it costs, how to fix it - Quick wins vs long-term fixes 3. **OPTIMIZED DAY DESIGN** - Restructured daily schedule aligned with energy peaks - Deep work → when exactly - Meetings/calls → when exactly - Admin/email → when exactly - Exercise → optimal timing for MY goals - Meals → timing and composition suggestions 4. **90-DAY ENERGY PLAN** - Month 1: Quick fixes (immediate impact) - Month 2: Habit changes (build momentum) - Month 3: Lifestyle shifts (sustainable transformation) - How to measure improvement Be specific and practical. 'Get more sleep' is not advice.
This prompt applies energy management science—distinguishing physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy dimensions—to create a comprehensive optimization plan. By mapping your current energy patterns across the day and identifying specific drains and gains, the AI can recommend targeted interventions at the systems level rather than surface-level productivity hacks. The audit framework reveals patterns invisible to casual self-reflection.
Use when you feel perpetually tired despite adequate sleep, when your productivity is inconsistent throughout the day, or when you suspect you're spending energy on the wrong things. Ideal for high achievers experiencing burnout signals, professionals redesigning their work schedule, or anyone who wants to align their most demanding tasks with their peak energy windows.
You'll get a detailed energy audit template to complete, followed by a personalized optimization plan that restructures your day around natural energy rhythms. Includes identification of your top energy drains (people, tasks, environments), specific countermeasures for each, an ideal day schedule mapped to your energy curve, and weekly energy maintenance practices. Provides both quick wins and long-term systemic changes.
