Little influence over your time schedule
An inability to organise one's time is a common reason for energy loss. If you have very little influence over your own schedule, you may quickly become trapped in a spiral of constant rush and despair. Try to find a way to be more in charge of your own time and determine the key priorities you will focus on.
Overly ambitious plans
Plans should be ambitious. But if they are excessively so, the path towards reaching them can lead to the given person becoming seriously demotivated. When setting up goals, either for yourself or your team, always be as realistic as possible.
Ineffective communication
If there are problems in communication between you and your team, or between team members themselves, it is very difficult to agree on anything and even mundane, everyday tasks consume a lot of your energy. Set up a communication system that is as simple as possible, not requiring too much energy from anyone.
Unhealthy lifestyle
Loss of energy may also have purely biochemical or physiological reasons. If you have bad or irregular eating habits, do not move sufficiently, do not exercise, or have an unhealthy sleep schedule, you should immediately think about correcting it.
Working in a way that is too complex
It might just be the case that there is too much going on. You may need to juggle too many projects and tasks at once and are experiencing decision fatigue. Simplify your work, focus on key priorities, and either make the rest of the agenda automatic or delegate it to others.
