Energy Management vs. Pure Time Management

Scheduling your most cognitively demanding tasks during your personal peak alertness window - and reserving lower-energy periods for routine or administrative tasks - is a widely recommended strategy known as "energy management," distinct from simply blocking time on a calendar without regard to mental state.

Protect Your Peak Window Deliberately

Once you've identified your peak window, protecting it from meetings, email checking, and other low-value interruptions is just as important as identifying it in the first place - the window only helps if it's actually used for demanding work.
