Weekly Energy Audit

What you will need

• Your main activities this week and roughly how many hours each (list of activity + hours): For example work, travel or taxi, overtime, childcare, household tasks, church, exercise, screen time, sleep.
• For each activity: does it drain or restore you? (scale -2 (strong drain) to +2 (strong restore)): Be honest. Some work tasks restore people, some rest does not.
• Average hours of sleep per night (hours): Shift workers: count your main sleep and naps.
• Times per day you check work messages after hours (count): More detail.
• Do you work nights or rotating shifts? (yes/no): More detail.

How it works

For each activity: weighted = hours x energy_rating. net_energy = sum(weighted). drain_hours = sum(hours where rating < 0). restore_hours = sum(hours where rating > 0). drain_share = drain_hours / (drain_hours + restore_hours) x 100. top_drains = 3 activities with the most negative weighted value. top_restorers = 3 with the most positive. sleep_flag = avg_sleep_hours < 7 (for adults). IF shift_pattern == yes add shift-sleep tips (dark, quiet room; anchor sleep; caution with driving after night shifts). IF after_hours_work_checks >= 5 add digital-boundary tips. Suggest ONE change: reduce or reshape the top drain, or add 1-2 hours of the top restorer.

What you get

• Net energy balance for the week
• Share of rated time that drains you
• Your biggest drains
• What restores you
• One change to try next week

What it means

• Your week gives back roughly as much as it takes, so protect what restores you.
• Your week is tipping towards draining, and one small change could rebalance it.
• Most of your week is draining you, which is a common road to burnout, so it may help to talk to someone.
• Short sleep makes everything feel harder, so sleep may be the best place to start.
