Energy Debt Is Real

Energy Debt Is Real
Preventive Pause 🎨 Visual Energy Inspired By Francis Bacon
In: Wellness at Work

You can borrow time.
You can push through fatigue.
You can stack meetings, skip breaks, and tell yourself you’ll rest later.

But energy doesn’t work like that.

Energy debt always comes due.

It shows up in foggy thinking.
Short tempers.
Low engagement.
The team that’s there in body—but nowhere else.

You can’t outrun it.
You can only rebuild it.

The problem isn’t that people aren’t trying.
It’s that they’re running on empty—and still expected to sprint.


But here’s the shift:

You don’t have to wait for burnout to slow down.
You can get ahead of it—by checking in before you check out.

Five minutes.
A simple rhythm.
A daily reset to start building energy credit instead.


You track your budget.
Track your energy too.
