Economics of Human Energy
2. Energy Distribution: The brain has a unique way of distributing energy. Unlike other cells in the body, neurons have long extensions (axons and dendrites), and they need to transport energy efficiently to these distant parts. Understanding how energy is transported and distributed in neurons is a key aspect of neuroenergetics.

How can we share energy with others? Distribution outside of the self

Happiness makes things easier
We are always telling stories, whether we realize it or not. We might as well get good at it. Good stories win people over. They provoke and inspire and inflame the human spirit. It’s a tremendous source of power.

The biggest factor that slows down a company is how much time and energy it takes to communicate goals and expectations.

3. Energy Usage: Neurons use energy for various functions, like transmitting signals, maintaining the balance of ions across their membranes, and synthesizing neurotransmitters and other molecules. Neuroenergetics examines how energy is utilized for these critical tasks.

How can we minimize the amount of energy we spend so we can maximize the energy spent on others?
“Energy management beats time management.”
― Katherine Morgan Schafler
If this is true (I believe it is), why do companies focus on time management? Because it’s easier and time is shared, energy isn’t (at least, typically. But it can be if done properly…)
At present most work is useless or worse and we should simply get rid of it.

I don’t want to wait for the world to change.
I want to live it.

This is the secret to time travel. You have to be the first one to the be the example that others can follow.
They want your time , enough of it to make you theirs, even if they have no use for most of it. Otherwise why hasn’t the average work week gone down by more than a few minutes in the last sixty years?
