Time and energy: a guide, a work in progress

With it being the end of the year, and preparing for the new year, a theme of the kind of reading I've been doing recently has been on ways to think about managing time and energy, specifically around knowledge-based work. (See below for the specific books I read.) As I took and organized notes of my reading, I started to break ideas apart and visualize how they connect. And of course I went to coding CSS and HTML to help me do this. And I came up with this guide of methodologies to working, dividing time in a day, maintaining energy and good habits, and enjoying leisure time. It's currently 'in beta' as I plan to have more to add to it in the coming months.

Recommendations and stuff

Said books on the topic of time: Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky has a bunch of tactics on concentrating on work that's most meaningful; Perennial Seller: The Art of Making and Marketing Work that Lasts By Ryan Holiday on how to make work that stands the test of time and ensure it reaches your audience; and I'm currently reading one called The Time Paradox by Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd who's research has lead them to the idea that the way we think about the past, present and future affects the way we live our life.

During the holidays, I took advantage of some sales on comics from comiXology. A couple of the ones I enjoyed the most are: CBLDF Presents: Liberty, an anthology of artists and writers promoting the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund over the years with short stories about our freedom of speech and other freedoms; and Miracleman: The Golden Age by Neil Gaiman.

This time of year I also read a James Bond book from the original series by Ian Fleming. This year, I got to book 6, Dr. No, which is also the book the very first James Bond movie was based on.
