ENERGY RESERVE
Resources (Get)
Demands (Give)
See Your Energy Balance Before It Breaks
Work has demands that drain you. And resources that recharge you. Your Energy Reserve shows where you stand.
The Formula
Resources minus Demands equals Your Energy State
Demands drain energy. Workload. Deadlines. Difficult conversations.
Resources restore energy. Control. Support. Growth.
When resources exceed demands, you build capacity. When demands win, you spend down.
YOUR BALANCE
Resources (Get)
Demands (Give)
What We Measure
Three demands. Three resources.
The full picture of your energy balance in six dimensions.
Workload
Volume and pace. How much is on your plate? How fast does it need to move?
Emotional Labor
Managing others' feelings. Hiding your own. Navigating difficult relationships.
Cognitive Load
Hard problems. Constant decisions. Context switching. The mental weight.
Autonomy
Control over how and when you work. Freedom to make decisions.
Support
People who have your back. Your manager. Your team. People you can count on.
Growth
Learning new things. Building skills. Moving toward something meaningful.
Your Score
Where do you stand right now?
Your Energy Reserve score shows if you're building capacity or spending it down.
Catching the early drop is everything. RUNNING LOW is easier to fix than DEPLETED.
Resources exceed demands. Capacity to spare. Sustainable high performance.
Roughly balanced. Some buffer, but a big demand could tip you over.
Demands winning. Tired. Shorter patience. This is the warning zone.
Significant imbalance. Not sustainable. Without change, burnout follows.
The Hidden Tax
The reward for excellence is more load
High performers get punished. You're good at your work, so you get more work. Your resources stay flat. Your demands increase.
High Performance
You deliver great work. You're reliable. You get results.
More Work Assigned
Success gets rewarded with more responsibility. More projects. More asks.
Resources Stay Flat
Same autonomy. Same support. Same time. The math stops working.
Energy Depletes
Burnout in jobs you're great at. Not because you're weak. Because the math broke.
Monthly Reality
Same person. Different months. Different balance.
Your demands shift. Your resources change. Monthly check-ins catch the trend before it catches you.

AI COACHING
Two Signals
Right work. Full tank. That's the goal.
Work Shape shows if you're doing the right work. Energy Reserve shows if you have capacity to do it.
High Shape + Low Energy
You love the work but you're running on empty. Sustainable for a sprint. Dangerous for a marathon.
Low Shape + High Energy
You have capacity but the work doesn't fit. Bored or restless despite having energy.
Low Both
Wrong work and no capacity. Something needs to change soon.
