Time & Energy Management

Protect your time so you can do the work that actually matters.

How to use

/time-energy-management Apply time management constraints to this conversation.
/time-energy-management <situation> Optimize time allocation for the described PM workload.

PMs do four types of work. MUST allocate time intentionally:

Strategic work (roadmap, research, analysis): high impact, easily crowded out. Protect this.
Execution work (sprint support, blocker removal, decisions): urgent, necessary, but shouldn't dominate.
Communication work (updates, alignment, stakeholder management): important but expandable. Timebox it.
Reactive work (fire drills, escalations, ad hoc requests): unavoidable but must be contained.
SHOULD aim for 30%+ on strategic work. If it's under 10%, you're a project manager, not a product manager.
