Nicola, I deeply appreciate your reflections here, especially around the importance of managing energy and mental health during demanding career transitions. Your point about carefully assessing energy and aligning effort with high-leverage activities resonates deeply. I've noticed something similar in my journey: intrinsic motivation and genuine alignment with our goals significantly impact our energy levels and mental clarity.

In my recent reflections ('From Mandates to Invitations'), I realized that sustainable, meaningful progress happens best when we replace rigid expectations with authentic curiosity and psychological safety, inviting ourselves gently toward our goals, rather than forcing them through sheer willpower alone.

Thanks again for this thoughtful guide, it's an important reminder that energy, clarity, and self-care often determine success far more than sheer effort alone.
