78. Maximize Your Energy
The USA has a rich tradition of manufacturing, but there is one type of manufacturing that is crushing us. It's called Manufactured Energy. This is when we try to overcome being tired by consuming something man-made.
There is a commercial for a popular energy drink that illustrates humans with a battery meter just like your phone. When the batteries get low, they suggest you drink their energy drink to get to 100%.
We manufacture energy a multitude of different ways--coffee, caffeine, energy drinks, processed foods, motivational quotes, stimulants and drugs. THERE IS ANOTHER WAY!
Did you know that:
$13,500,000,000 was spent on energy drinks in 2020 (worldwide)
Americans consumed ~5 billion pounds of coffee in 2020
Our time is the most valuable when we maximize our energy!
Time is important, but your energy is your most precious commodity!
