Hey Strategic Stylers! 👋
Here’s the truth: not all goals are created equal. Some push you forward with power and momentum. Others drain your energy while giving you very little in return.
This is the 80/20 rule of energy alignment in action:
👉 20% of your goals create 80% of your progress.
👉 The other 80% keep you busy but not fulfilled.
When you focus on the wrong goals, you burn time and energy. When you align with the right ones, you experience compounding results — progress that feels almost effortless.
🔄 The Quick Fix: Priority Reset
Here’s how to apply it today:
✅ Write down your top 3 priorities for the day.
✅ Circle the ONE that feels most aligned with your peak energy window (your 2-hour superpower slot).
✅ Commit 80% of your energy to that priority first — before emails, meetings, or admin work.
✅ Let the other two sit until after you’ve honored your peak.
💡 Most people flip this process — they burn through small, draining tasks early and wonder why their big goals never move forward. You’re going to do the opposite.
“Progress isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters most.”
Let’s get deeper!
Energy Story 📖
I used to treat all of my goals equally. My day would start with coffee, then meetings, small tasks, and quick wins — and by the time I’d hit the afternoon, my brain was fried.
When I started applying the Priority Reset, I made one simple shift:
👉 I began protecting my 10 AM peak energy window for my most important project instead of emails.
The result? Productivity!
That’s the difference between busy effort and aligned effort.
🚀 What’s Next?
👉 In the Strategic Style Circle, we’re running a challenge this week: The Superpower Priority Test. Members will track which goals get done fastest — and why they’re always the ones aligned with energy, not just time.
This exercise helps you see, in real time, what’s truly moving the needle in your life and career.
You've got this. Strategically.
