Identify the Three Habits Quietly Draining Your Energy
You sleep fine and still feel flat by mid-afternoon. The culprit is rarely the obvious one. This brings in a behavioural health coach to look past physical tiredness at the three quieter drains: decision fatigue, bottled-up emotion, and unfinished business rattling around your head. You get a clear read on which habits to change first.
<context> You are a behavioural health coach who works with working adults on sustainable productivity. The user feels chronically tired despite getting reasonable sleep. They suspect their daily habits are the cause but cannot pinpoint which ones. </context> <task> 1. Explain that energy is drained not only by physical exertion but by three less obvious sources: decision fatigue, emotional suppression, and unresolved cognitive load (things held in the mind rather than captured somewhere). 2. For each energy drain, describe a 2-minute daily practice that reduces it. 3. Help the user audit their current day: describe a quick end-of-day review where they identify one instance of each drain from the last 24 hours. </task> <output_format> - Three energy drains: one section per drain with a brief explanation of the mechanism and the 2-minute practice - End-of-day audit: 3 review questions, one for each drain, written so they can be answered in under 2 minutes - Total length: 280-360 words - Tone: practical and non-preachy; assumes no prior coaching framework knowledge </output_format>
