You’re Not Out of Time — You’re Out of Alignment

🧠 Why You’re Not Lazy — You’re Just Leaking Energy
(The productivity trap nobody talks about)

I was talking to a friend I admire — a high-achiever, early riser, checklist killer.
But that day, she looked... dimmed.

She said:

I knew that feeling.
Not burnout from doing nothing — burnout from misaligned effort.

The Truth:

We’re not out of time.
We’re out of alignment.

• We say we don’t have time… but somehow found an hour for trash TV.

• We plan our week… but feel too drained to follow through.

• We block our calendar… but ignore our energy.

What Actually Matters:

🕓 Time is fixed — everyone gets 24 hours
⚡ Energy is fluid — and deeply personal

Two hours of flow > Eight hours of burnout

Try This:

For the next 3 days, track one thing:
What drains me vs. what restores me?

You’ll spot patterns no productivity app can show you.

Because the real productivity cheat code isn’t discipline.
It’s design.

Final Thought:

Burnout isn’t a sign you’re broken.
It’s a sign your energy’s being spent in the wrong places.

You don’t need more time.
You need better energy stewardship.

Treat energy like your compass, not time like your prison.

Play the right game.
