Several TLC members mentioned they have been reading the book Dynamic Drive, by Molly Fletcher and using some tactics from the book like:
The energy audit and alignment are tools that help us assess and make decisions about where we are spending our energy versus what we have set as goals.

Thanks to everyone for contributing their great ideas to the Mastermind conversation!
