Q & A

What is mental energy according to the script?

Mental energy refers to the capacity or ability to perform cognitive tasks that require thinking, like schoolwork, reports, or other mentally demanding activities. When mental energy is low, it becomes difficult to be productive.

Why is mental energy important for productivity?

Mental energy is crucial because when it’s high, we are able to work efficiently and productively. However, when it’s low, we may feel exhausted, unfocused, and unable to complete tasks effectively.

What is the 'fresh or fried' concept introduced by Stephanie Lee?

'Fresh or fried' is a productivity philosophy focused on efficient use of mental energy. The idea is to tackle mentally demanding tasks when your mental energy is at its peak, usually in the morning, and to save simpler tasks for when you're more mentally drained.

How can you apply the 'fresh or fried' concept in daily life?

You can apply the concept by prioritizing tasks that require a lot of mental energy, like writing reports or brainstorming, during the early part of the day when you're fresh. Tasks that are less mentally demanding, like organizing or routine activities, can be saved for later when you're more mentally fatigued.

What types of tasks should be completed during the ‘fresh’ phase?

During the 'fresh' phase, tasks that are mentally demanding, such as writing essays, brainstorming, or working on important projects, should be prioritized since your mental energy is at its highest.

What should be done when mental energy is low or 'fried'?

When your mental energy is low, it's better to focus on tasks that don't require much thinking, such as organizing your workspace, responding to simple emails, or doing routine tasks.

How can someone determine which tasks are urgent and important?

To identify urgent and important tasks, create a to-do list and categorize tasks based on their impact on your personal, academic, or professional life. Important tasks typically have a big influence on your goals, while urgent tasks are those that need to be done immediately.

Why is it important to identify tasks that are both urgent and important?

Identifying tasks that are both urgent and important ensures that you focus on the tasks that will have the biggest positive impact and need immediate attention, helping you avoid procrastination and unnecessary stress.

How does liking or disliking a task affect productivity?

When you enjoy a task, you're more likely to feel motivated and engaged in completing it. On the other hand, if you dislike a task, you're more likely to procrastinate and feel drained, which negatively impacts your productivity.

What should you do if productivity techniques don’t seem to work for you?

If productivity techniques don’t work, consider attending a time management webinar or workshop, like the one mentioned in the script. These can offer personalized strategies and deeper insights into managing time and energy effectively.
