Synopsis
BEYOND TIME MANAGEMENT - A HANDS-ON TOOLKIT OF DEEP REFLECTIONS AND EXPERIMENTS TO RESHAPE YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE. A tough day? Stuck in traffic on your way home, drained and distracted? You collapse in front of the TV, maybe order some comfort food… and that passion project? It’s pushed to “another day” yet again. Weeks, even months go by. You feel like you’re running out of time. But are we truly out of time — or are we simply not managing our energy in a way that lets us use our time meaningfully? In The Time Energy Toolkit, senior HR leader Apekshit Khare goes beyond the usual productivity hacks to ask deeper questions: What truly matters to you? Why do your days feel like they’re slipping away? And how can you reclaim them? Rooted in the Indian context, this book is designed for young professionals and knowledge workers. Drawing from years of leadership experience and personal practice, Apekshit introduces the concept of Bright Energy - the kind that fuels clarity, motivation, and joy - and its opposite, Dark Energy - the exhaustion, overwhelm, and disengagement that hold us back. With relatable stories, practical tools, and thoughtful reflection exercises, The Time Energy Toolkit helps you design your day in sync with your natural rhythms and build habits that channel your energy toward what truly matters. When your time and energy align, you discover how to grow and evolve, take ownership of your time, and live a life that feels truly authentic. Because time management isn’t just about doing more - it’s about living with intention and Brightness!
