Energy balance
Rate mental energy 1–10 for morning, afternoon, and evening. Use logs to place hard thinking where you usually have capacity — not where you wish you did.
Logging rules
Log at the end of each phase. If you skip a phase, mark it “no data” instead of guessing. Aggregates only include filled cells.
Brand-safe copy: honest self-reporting beats motivational exaggeration.
Day log: morning / afternoon / evening
| Phase | Energy (1–10) | Primary task type |
|---|---|---|
| Morning | 8 | Analytical / coding |
| Afternoon | 5 | Meetings + email |
| Evening | 4 | Light planning only |
Example — daily average energy across three logs
Input: morning 8, afternoon 5, evening 4
Calculation: (8 + 5 + 4) / 3 = 5.67 → round 5.7
Output: "Midday dip — schedule shallow work 13:00–15:00"

Scheduling takeaway
When two weeks show the same pattern, move proposal drafting, deep reading, or architecture work into your top-rated window. Keep recovery blocks explicit.
