280: Supercharged with Simon Alexander Ong

“Energy introduces you before you even speak.” We all sense that energy is contagious; the question is, how well are you protecting and recharging yours? That’s what we’re discussing today with Simon Alexander Ong: strategies for creating a not to-do list, for recognizing energizers and drainers in your life, and why slowing down is a superpower. 

More about Simon: Simon Alexander Ong is the author of the brand new book Energize: Make the Most of Every Moment. He is also a personal development entrepreneur, coach, and public speaker. His work has seen him invited onto Sky News, BBC Radio London and LBC Radio to be interviewed, while in 2018, Barclays UK featured him in a nationwide campaign asking him questions on how families could embrace better lifestyle habits. His insights have been featured in HuffPost, Forbes, Virgin, and the Guardian.

🌟 3 Key Takeaways:

  • Stop treating your health as a side hustle, and shift your focus from time management to energy management.

  • Create a “Not-To-Do” List of items you commit to not do that will free up time to focus your energy on things that really matter to you.

  • Say “no” more often so that you can say “yes” to bigger opportunities later.
