The six energy domains
Feeling drained is easy to notice and hard to explain. You know the week wore you down, but not which parts did the damage. Splitting your life into six domains turns a vague sense of depletion into something you can actually read. Each domain either gives you energy or takes it, and the shape across all six usually tells you more than any single one.
Work
The obvious drain, but rarely the whole story. The question is not whether work is hard, but whether it depletes you, holds steady, or actually feeds you on your better days.
Relationships
The people you spend real time with. Some connections restore you and some quietly cost you, and the two are harder to tell apart than you would expect until you look directly at them.
Body
Sleep, movement, food, physical health. This is the base layer everything else runs on. When it runs low, the other five rarely hold up for long.
Environment
The spaces you move through. Light, noise, clutter, and commute shape your energy far more than most people give them credit for.
Purpose
The sense that what you do matters. Its absence drains slowly and almost invisibly, which is exactly what makes it dangerous to ignore.
Play
The part adults cut first and miss most. Time spent on things with no goal beyond enjoying them turns out to be a real source of energy, not a luxury you earn once everything else is done.
Read your own balance
The free Energy Audit scores all six domains and gives you a radar chart of your energy profile in about four minutes. Once you can see which domains are running on empty, the Restoration Map shows you which kinds of recovery will actually refill them.
