The simple 5-minute mini-system to improve your daily performance...
Hey there,
Your energy level is the foundation of everything you'll achieve in sales - yet most of us treat it like an afterthought.
As a sales leader who spent years running on caffeine and willpower, I've learned the hard way that neglecting your well-being doesn't just hurt you - it hurts your team. When you're dragging yourself through meetings on 4 hours of sleep and your third coffee refill, you're not showing up as the leader your team deserves.
Today, I'm sharing a dead-simple "Daily Energy + Health Anchor" system that helped me break free from the burnout cycle. You'll learn:
How to track your energy in just 5 minutes a day

3 Steps to Triple Your Energy When You're Too Busy to Breathe
The secret to sustainable energy isn't about massive changes - it's about tiny, consistent actions tracked daily.
1. The Energy Score Check-in
Start by rating your energy level from 1-5 at the end of each day.
This single number becomes your North Star, helping you identify patterns and triggers that affect your performance. Don't overthink it - just like you did as a kid, give it a quick gut-check rating.
2. The Core Anchors System
Track these 6 daily anchors:
Movement/Exercise
Water intake
Healthy eating
Sleep quality
Deep work session
Screen cutoff hr before bed
“But Keith, I don’t have enough time to go to the gym and workout every day.”
Can’t get to the gym? Do a few push-ups and call it a day.
Consistency > Intensity.
Here’s a favorite quote of mine:
Reduce the scope. Stick to the schedule.
3. Pattern Recognition
Take quick daily notes about what you accomplished and missed.
This creates awareness about what truly impacts your energy score. The data never lies - you'll start seeing direct correlations between hitting your anchors and higher energy days.
That's it. Here's what you learned today:
