Pace Yourself: How to Have Energy in an Exhausting World
Life these days can feel like an endless, exhausting to-do list with far too many to-dos and not nearly enough time to complete them. Self-help gurus will tell you to time block, to wake up at five am, to try the Pomodoro method, and get rid of everything in your life that doesn't spark joy—but the reality is you can't bullet journal your way out of exhaustion. Instead, science journalist Amy Arthur argues for a radical new approach: we must learn to manage not our time, but our energy. While time passes at the same rate for everyone, energy expenditure is as fluid and as individual as our personalities. In Pace Yourself, Arthur draws on cutting-edge research as well as her experience managing her Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to walk listeners through how to find and maintain their ideal pace of life. Featuring experts across science, technology, history, and philosophy, Pace Yourself lays out what we know about our bodies' energy stores: how we make it, how we use it, how we often waste it, and what we can do to renew our relationship with it. Some of the ideas presented are at the forefront of scientific and medical research; others are exercises that can be completed on a spare sheet of paper. It's time we stop lying to ourselves that we can do it all. Pace Yourself introduces listeners to a vital new framework to know their limits, work within them, and, ultimately, watch themselves flourish in this new, balanced pace of life.

About the Author

Amy Arthur is a science and health journalist, with bylines in Popular Science, BBC Science Focus and LiveScience. Her interest in science stems from her fascination with her own body, which began causing her trouble at age 15 and will likely continue raising interesting questions for her doctor for the foreseeable future. She currently lives in Pontypool, Wales, with her husband and their dog, Mabel. In her spare time, she pursues as many new skills as she can. Her interests include philosophy and pottery.
