00:00 - Why time management is a myth?
This video bursts the myth of time management - a skill that's so popular among the self help gurus and entrepreneur coaches alike. From teachers to managers, everyone is eager to share their take on time management tips and strategies.

But in this video, #DrSuri talks about why #TimeManagement is a lie, and how it creates a trap that keeps you going in the same loop of exhaustion and productivity over and over again.

04:28 - Time management vs Stress
The video presents a new take on the relationship between time management and stress. Out goal is to improve the #MentalHealthAwareness when it comes to time managment. Time management videos tell you a lie. Psychological studies show that doing more things in less time does not reduce your stress, but rather make you feel more pressured. Focus on having more energy, not time, and you will be able to make the most of your motivation for work life and emotions for your personal life, because #MentalHealthMatters.

Time management is not important; managing your energy and motivation is.

07:34 - Time management vs Energy management
Dr Suri presents an alternative to time management, which is energy management. Paying attention to your motivation and mental flow will help you make the most of your focus and increase productivity. It will also lead to a better work and life balance (work-life balance).

This time vs energy management approach focuses on paying attention to how much energy a task consumes, rather than how much time a task takes. This shift helps you with paying attention to your mind and body to get things done, improve your productivity and be successful.

Schedule tasks based on how mentally draining they are going to be. Manage energy not time, and that will make you more aware of where you are spending your energy. You can be strategic with your task management and scheduling, and focus on replenishing your energy.

In a way, this is a form of self management, which is an essential part of leadership training as well as personal growth and development.

10:12 - How to improve your productivity?
You don't have to force yourself to be more productive. Forcing yourself to get more work done in less time might sound efficient, but it will only make you feel more tired and can cause burnout. So instead of task management and scheduling, bring your focus on the brain power and energy that tasks consumes.

The video talks about 4 ways to replenish your energy. First is self care and nurturing your relationship with yourself. Second is feeling emotionally and mentally supported by staying connected with friends and loved ones. Third is by nourishing your body through food, exercise and rest. And fourth is by having non-time or "me time" for self-reflection and unwinding from your day.
