What is mental energy and how can I increase it? Usually I get more of it after some activity. A day in pyjamas on the couch kills it. It's low when I'm tired. Maybe some physical work gets converted into mental energy. It's motivation to do more. Is mental energy an alternative to discipline, or do they go hand in hand? Can you measure it in Joule? Depression is minimal mental energy. I think it's possible to create virtuous cycles to cultivate mental energy. Use discipline as activation energy to kick of a routine that increases mental energy. This makes it easier to start the next routine. The goal is to turn these mechanisms into habits. Thanks for reading. I wish you lots of mental energy and would be interested in your view on the topic. Cheers 🤙
