18:42 – Closing Thoughts

19:10 – Remake of Psalm 23

Psalm 23 revisited

The clock is my dictator, I shall not rest.

It makes me lie down only when exhausted.

It leads me into deep depression, it hounds my soul.

It leads me in circles of frenzy for busyness sake.

Even though I run frantically from task to task,

I will never get it all done, for me “ideal” is with me.

Deadlines and my need for approval, they drive me.

They demand performance from me, beyond the limits of my schedule.

They anoint my head with migraines, my inbox overflows.

Surely busy, beatdown, and burnout shall follow me all the days of my life.

And I will dwell in the bonds of the exhaustion cycle forever.

2. Determine how effective your work and your life are when you live in The Exhaustion Cycle – you may be getting things done, but as effective as they could be? And what is it doing to you in the long run? And are you dropping any of the glass important balls you’re juggling right now?

Why do I even need an energy edge? Things are working out just fine in my life. Or are they?

Before the WHAT and the HOW, we’re going to explain the WHY behind the energy edge by giving you six compelling reasons why you should have an energy edge.
