How does that work out for you? You FEEL a little better about the whole thing, but, if you’re like me, you start zoning out and nodding off. You have to read every page two or three times for it to sink in. The same kind of thing happens to me in the early afternoon. My energy is low, and I’m not as “quick” as I usually am.
My work takes a bit LONGER than it should. If you haven’t noticed these energy rhythms in your life, start paying attention to them. They can have a significant impact on your work and your relationships.
For example, my wife and I have financial meetings together. You know, review the bills, talk about upcoming expenses, plan for the future, etc. These meetings go much smoother if we have them in the morning. We found that if we have the meetings at night or when the kids are around they turn into bickering matches. We do not talk about the family budget at night. Not EVER.
My point isn’t to talk about budgeting – it’s to talk about how we are humans, not computers. Certain things can be done on low energy, but certain other things require high energy. A budget meeting in the morning does not equal a budget meeting at night. Not even close, Bubba.
In the end, it’s a lot less work to have the meetings in the morning. Nighttime meetings take 30 minutes to an hour and leave me angry for about an hour or until I go to bed. Morning meetings take 15-20 minutes, and we leave happy as a couple of clams.
Less work, better results. That’s exactly what the Physician Assistant Exam Scholars newsletter is all about. Less time studying and better scores. It isn’t always easy to convince people it’s possible, but the reality is that it isn’t even that hard. Changing one or two things here or there can have a profound difference.
