The Peak, Trough, and Recovery: Optimise Your Workday with The Energy Distribution Cycle
The People Performance Podcast - A podcast by T2 - The People Performance People
Categories:
In this episode we discuss the energy distribution cycle, a concept suggesting individuals experience peaks and troughs in energy throughout the workday.
The hosts explore how understanding these cycles—peak (8 AM-12 PM), trough (12 PM-3 PM), and recovery (3 PM-6 PM)—can improve productivity and communication. They propose scheduling demanding tasks for peak times, simpler tasks for troughs, and planning/idea generation during recovery.
The discussion emphasises the importance of individual variations in energy cycles and suggests strategies for optimising work routines accordingly.
