When the former Coach of Roger Federer was asked during an interview with La Gazzetta Dello Sport about what sets Federer apart from other great tennis legends, he revealed two main things.

But these few things are crucial in making Federer outstanding.
The second revelation about Federer is his “peace of mind and his ability to decompress the pressure.” The coach went on explaining how the rising expectations of the fans never exhausted Federer and let his energy drained. It is through managing his energy levels that makes the difference.
Increasing your personal productivity is determined largely by how you can make use of your energy levels. To be productive, managing your energy should be prioritized over managing your time. Still, it depends on your awareness of how to make the best use of this infinite resource.
