8 ways to boost energy and productivity and be less tired – a Malaysian-Chinese life coach and author’s advice
- To take advantage of opportunities that arise and attract the people you want around you, one must have the energy to do so, life coach Simon Ong says
- His advice for boosting energy levels includes planning your day the night before, creating an energising environment and adopting the ‘3-2-1’ bedtime routine
In this hectic world, we all seem to want more energy – but few are able to easily get it. Learning how to do so, however, can be life-changing.
This is the heart of the message Simon Ong delivers. The Malaysian-Chinese former financier quit his job after suffering from burnout and shifted his focus from time management to energy management.
He found the approach so rewarding he became a life coach and wrote the self-help book Energize: Make the Most of Every Moment.
“Your energy levels determine your state, who you attract into your life and how you do what you do. If you are to take advantage of the opportunities that arise in life, you must have the energy to do so,” he says.
Ong suggests the most successful people in the world may not be the youngest, strongest or fittest, but are the best at staying energised.
“When feeling energised, we become the chief architect of our future and there is nothing we feel we can’t overcome,” he says.
