Your energy is limited. Spend it like a paycheck you actually had to work for.

Money feels finite because you watched it arrive slowly, an hour at a time. Energy does not feel that way, so it drains into whatever asks loudest: the group chat, the scroll, an argument you never chose to be in. Then the thing that mattered comes around and the account is empty. It was never a willpower problem, it was a spending problem.

Decide which two things get your best hours this week, and give them those hours rather than the leftovers at eleven at night. For one day, notice what took the most out of you and whether you would have paid for it.
