Energy-True Task Chooser

Energy-True Task Chooser

The Energy-True Task Chooser helps you work with your energy, not against it. Instead of forcing yourself through tasks that don’t match how you feel, this spinning wheel guides you toward realistic, kind, and strategic choices that respect your current state—and still move you forward.

Many productivity struggles come from pretending we’re robots: expecting the same focus, speed, and emotional bandwidth all day long. In reality, your energy rises and falls. Some hours you can handle deep-thinking work; others, you’re better suited to simple maintenance or gentle progress. Ignoring this reality often leads to procrastination, burnout, or doing a lot without finishing what truly matters.

This wheel invites you to start with honesty: How much energy do I actually have right now? From there, it suggests energy-matched tasks you can choose from—whether that’s a low-energy organizing step, a medium-energy project move, or a high-energy deep-focus push.

Every spin gives you one specific prompt that:

• Helps you define or acknowledge your current energy level
• Offers a type of task that fits that level
• Encourages you to protect future you from stress or overload

Instead of guilting you into doing more, the wheel helps you do what’s wise for this moment. Over time, this builds a powerful skill: you learn to allocate your attention and effort where they’ll have the most impact, without draining yourself unnecessarily.

Use the Energy-True Task Chooser when you:

• Feel tired but still want to make gentle progress
• Have a burst of focus and want to use it intentionally
• Can’t decide what to work on next
• Notice yourself avoiding a big task but don’t want to waste the hour

Each prompt can be acted on quickly, often within a 15–30 minute window. The goal is not to maximize every second, but to align your actions with your current reality, so you experience more completion, less frustration, and a deeper sense of self-respect.

By repeatedly checking in with your energy and choosing accordingly, you reinforce an empowering belief: "I am allowed to work in a way that fits me, and I can still be effective." That mindset alone can dissolve a surprising amount of guilt and pressure.

Over time, using this wheel will help you:

• Notice your natural energy patterns more clearly
• Reserve deep work for your stronger hours
• Stop wasting low-energy periods on shame and indecision
• Build a sustainable rhythm that supports both productivity and wellbeing

The Energy-True Task Chooser doesn’t ask you to be more than you are today. It helps you make the smartest, kindest use of the energy you actually have, so you end your day feeling steady, effective, and a little more in tune with yourself.
