Chronic Fatigue

Tim Ferriss has discussed his experiences with chronic fatigue in the context of his lifelong battle against the condition, including suffering from two severe bouts with Lyme disease growing up on Long Island. In managing his energy, Ferriss has found it beneficial to prioritize and address key issues or "open loops" like completing or renegotiating commitments, having "clearing conversations" to address unsaid matters that were consuming mental energy, and using energy management as a primary focus over time management. He highlighted that energy is the parent resource that determines all other resources, emphasizing the significant relief to his energy levels once key conversations were carried out, which was instrumental in his battle against chronic fatigue 1.
