Stage 05 · Follow your curiosity Lesson 2 of 2
What you never get bored of
Tell apart the work that drains you from the work you return to even after a break.
Read it instead
Lesson two. What you never get bored of. Tell apart the work that drains you from the work you return to even after a break. Some work drains you, however good you are at it. Some fills you, even when it's hard. And some you come back to after a break, seeing it wider than before. An energy audit sorts your week by how each task leaves you: filled, or drained. It isn't about quitting things. It's about noticing where your energy lives. Why it matters. What fills you is where your hard-earned skill meets your joy. Expression that comes from there has life in it. For example. Client calls fill you; invoicing drains you. Your voice probably lives in those calls. Or: Writing proposals drains you, but explaining the idea out loud lights you up. Try video. Where this leads. It shows which of your skills belong in what you'll share. Hold on to this. Needing rest from something you love is normal. When you come back, you often see it wider.
