Psychic energy
Psychic energy is a practical definition of the available resources of attention, motivation and regulation needed for action.
Definition
Psychic energy is not a precise medical entity, but a useful concept that describes the subjective and functional resources needed for focus, decision-making, self-control, and engagement. It is influenced by sleep, stress, cognitive load, health, emotions and the environment. It's worth using this concept with caution: not as a magical power, but as a shortcut for available mental capacity.

Practice and life
For a week, rate your mental energy morning, noon and evening on a scale of 1-10. Look for relationships between sleep, eating, stimuli, conflict and work quality.
Common misunderstanding
It is a mistake to treat mental energy as an excuse for any resignation. It is also a mistake to ignore the real overload and try to act solely by willpower.
