In this episode, Michael explores the energy that one puts into various tasks - from work, personal projects, investing and life in general. He noticed that while he had cut down his working hours to as little as possible, he still found himself without enough time.
Michael then came to the realisation that it wasn't time he was lacking - but energy. Michael discusses the concept of how one needs to manage their energy as well as their time - as there is only so much energy we have in one day.
Michael also gives an update on how life has been going since moving down to semi retirement hours and his goal for 2020.
