Your body is telling you something

Running on empty

When you've got nothing left in the tank.

You're not alone

You can run on empty for a long time before it catches up with you. When it does, there's just nothing left. Your body is asking for proper rest, and you'll keep feeling like this until you get it.

What can help

• Sleep first. Everything is harder on no sleep.
• Rest properly, not just collapse-and-scroll. A walk, actual time off, time away from a screen.
• Eat and drink properly. Sometimes low energy is just not having eaten or drunk enough.
• Take things off the list before you add to it. What can go this week?
• Know the difference between tired and depleted. Tired needs a good night. Depleted needs a few days of real rest.
