Prompt objective
Implement an energy management system that identifies natural performance peaks, protects deep work blocks, minimizes digital interruptions, and creates recovery rituals that sustain high performance throughout the week.
Real use case
A product manager at a fintech startup works 10-12 hours daily but feels they deliver little of what truly matters. They spend most of the day in meetings, Slack, and urgent emails — and when they finally try to do strategic work, they're mentally exhausted. They want to learn how to manage energy, not just time.
