Life can feel like an endless, exhausting to-do list with too many tasks and not nearly enough time to complete them. Self-help gurus will tell you to time block, to wake up at 5:00 a.m., to use the Pomodoro Technique, and to get rid of everything in your life that doesn't spark joy-but the reality is you can't bullet journal your way out of exhaustion. Instead, science journalist Amy Arthur argues for a radical new approach: we must learn to manage not our time, but our energy. While time passes at the some rate for everyone, energy expenditure is as fluid and as individual as our personalities. In Pace Yourself, Arthur draws on cutting edge research as well as her own experience managing chronic fatigue syndrome to guide readers toward their ideal pace of life. Drawing on the findings and advice from experts across science, technology, history, and philosophy, Arthur demystifies our bodies' energy stores: how we make them, how we use the, how we often waste them, and what we can do to renew our relationship with them. Canvassing fields like nutrition, biology, psychology, and physics, Pace Yourself offers concepts from the forefront of scientific and medical research while also providing simple exercises you can complete on a spare sheet of paper to reshape how you think about the energy you spend throughout your day. It is time we stop lying to ourselves that we can do it all. Pace Yourself gives us a vital new framework to know our limits, work within them, and, ultimately, watch ourselves flourish in this new, balanced pace of life.
