Energy Audit for Introverts. Design a Week That Fits Your Energy
Understanding your energy inputs and outputs (ie. what boosts and drains you), is key to being both successful and enjoying your career.
Welcome! This 5-minute audit helps you spot where your week tips out of balance and make one simple tweak.
No big overhauls required! Just a bit more clarity.
Print it, copy to Notes, or journal directly. Try it out on Monday morning (fresh from the weekend) or anytime this week that feels right.
Step 1: Your Peak Input
Where did you feel most energised and "you" last week?
(Solo project? A deep 1:1? Quiet strategy time?)
What I'll protect this week: ____________________________
Step 2: Your Peak Output Drain
What drained you most? Be specific.
(The 90-min "quick catch-up"? Open office interruptions? After-hours Slack?)
The real cost to me is: ____________________________
(Lost focus? Evening wiped? No bandwidth for priorities?)
My one nudge: ____________________________
(Examples: "45 mins max for meetings", "Thoughts via email after", "No meetings after-3pm")
Step 3: Net Balance Check
Take a look back at last week, what were the hours you roughly spent on:
Input (recharge): _____ hours
Output (drain): _____ hours
If output > input, pick your boundary or non-negotiable: ____________________________
One Week From Now
Set a reminder for next Monday. Notice:
Did your nudge create breathing room?
Where did you feel more steady?
This Week's Win: ____________________________
You're noticing what others miss. That's your quiet superpower at work!
If this reveals something you'd like support untangling, my 1:1 coaching helps introverts build sustainable careers that fit. I’m always happy to have a no-commitment call to talk about how coaching might help you too!
