Discussion your energy is a limited resource, plan accordingly?

i recently had a yap sesh with an old time friend. i essentially barked at him like a rabid dog to use his energy more wisely and that making certain decisions need to come after, even if they feel super urgent. torture of my homie aside, what do you think of this concept? do yall agree or disagree with it? why or how so?

I believe it's true, 100%. We as people tend to do really dumb things because of the sense of urgency - it's tied to panicking, being emotional or just being impatient.

If you first use your brain to think about what to do in a situation optimally, and then use your energy to do just that, you'll use it way more wisely (as you said) which leads to better energy management.

I also think people think too much about rationing their energy when they should be thinking about how to increase their energy - food and sleep being 2 baselines. But that's an entirely different topic

Forgive me if I understood what you said wrong.
