Scamfender: Adulthood is exhausting. With the responsibilities of work, family, friendships and more, we are expending a lot of energy and are even limiting the amount of rest we can get to replenish it. At this point in my life, I figure I should save as much of my energy as I possibly can for the important things. These are some ways I've found that I was wasting energy and I didn't even know it. 1. Allowing background noise: Background noise raises stress levels , making it harder for us to focus on concentrate. When we continually require ourselves to perform tasks with noise — even if it's just a droning air conditioner — we are using more energy than we need to. While it might not be possible to eliminate all background noise, especially in our loud world, you can almost always do something to make it quieter. Buy some noise cancelling headphones and wear them without listening to anything, use earplugs, or turn off the TV to save your energy.
2. Giving away your power. There are so many ways to give away your power. The basic idea, though, is that you give away your power when you say or perceive that someone or something else is in charge of your life (or an aspect of it), rather than you. This can be as simple as always waiting for directions before you take action, or more complex like blaming your genes for a medical condition that limits you. When you give away your power, you give away your ability to make choices that will make your life better. For instance, you may not be able to do anything about an inherited medical condition, but you can still choose to live life to the full with that condition. Doing this will energize you.
3. Keeping lists in your head. Sometimes, I find myself exhausted because I'm trying to remember so many things. When I take a moment to write them down, my mind can relax because I know I won't forget anything important. The simple act of writing things down saves me energy now, but it also saves it later. If I insist on keeping all my lists in my head, I almost invariably forget something. That causes all sorts of stress and wastes so much mental energy later, when I have to scramble to pull something together or apologize profusely for missing an event.
4. Checking email more than twice a day. Most people really only need to check email twice a day. Most of your messages aren't urgent and, if someone has something that you really need to know right now, they can always call, text, or come find you themselves. When you check email all the time, you're distracted all the time. Sometimes, you're even trying to check your email while you're doing something else. However, multitasking doesn't really work. You're actually switching rapidly between tasks, not doing several things at once. All of this switching takes energy, which you wouldn't have to spend if you could focus on each task alone.
5. Trying to control the uncontrollable. I like to be in control, even when that isn't possible. In the past, I've wasted a lot of energy trying to control people and situations that it simply was not within my grasp to control. When I can let go of those things, I find that I have more energy to spend on the things that it is within my power to change. Letting go of the desire to control usually comes from places deep inside of us, and you probably won't be able to let it go overnight. Start by figuring out what you're afraid of that causes you to need so much control, and begin to work with the idea of letting go from there.
6. Working long hours. Working longer hours doesn't necessarily make you more productive. In fact, productivity tends to drop significantly the more hours you make yourself work. When you're working long hours, you're wasting your energy. That energy would be better spent finding a way to rest and to rejuvenate, so that you can come back to your task later, at optimum levels of productivity. Even if you don't get every second of rest that you need, a short break will help you focus again.

Victorious1: Surfing the net is a waste of energy too.... Nairaland is a big example-- particularly without any specific purpose while having a mindset to relax. As I read the op, my thoughts went that way too because any time I go online to relax from some mental activity, I find out that I have to wait for some mind re-orientation together with deep breaths before I can get back to the activity. I also find that my head tends to be heavy after this supposed 'breaks'. I think just resting without thinking actively is OK. 1 Like |

Op, nice try but I don't agree with you. You see, whatever will drain or boost your mental energy depends on your belief system.
What you are even asserting still begs the question, 'mental energy for what exactly?' for partying or for solving problems?
Back @ topic, if for instance you are such that generally hate noise, it is obvious that noise will drain your mental energy.
But there are others to my amazement who find quietude too discomfiting. They prefer to live close to a thoroughfare where the bombardment of trailer and Caterpillar noise is a daily occurrence. To them, living in a quiet place is a dispensable ordeal. And I don't know anything else that can drain mental energy than an ordeal!
Anyway, the same person may love background noise in certain situations and dislike it in others.
Op, I can say the same for every other point you listed, except for (5). Nice work all the same. |
