12 In-Depth Tactics to Seriously Boost your Energy

Lyn Alden

It’s often said that time is money, but I don’t think that’s precise enough.

The way I see it, energy is money. The more you can accomplish in a certain amount of time, and the more “hustle” you have in general, the more you can get done and the more you’ll want to do.

You can create more, learn more, travel more, give more, and love more.

Whether you’re trying to improve your station at work, build your wealth, run your business, ace your schooling, improve your health, or be the best mom you can be, energy is essential.

How to Increase Your Energy

There are a lot of low quality “list posts” out there that say the obvious like, “drink enough water, consume less alcohol, and exercise regularly”, but this isn’t going to be one of those posts.

This is a 9,000 word beast of an article, with a hyperlinked table of contents for easy navigation, that gives you 12 actionable tactics to noticeably boost your energy, especially when combined together.

For each tactic, I’m going to go into detail with personal experiences, case studies, and well-cited evidence by doctors, scientists, and health experts for how it may boost your energy levels, and give you links to high quality sources for more information.

My Energy Boost

Until about 5 years ago, I’ve never been a very energetic person.

In fact, I was prone to apathy and depression for most of my younger years. There are a lot of variables that can go into this, but by my mid twenties, I finally figured out a formula that works for me, that dramatically boosts my energy and productivity compared to the level it was at through most of my life.

These days, I work 60+ hour weeks, and love just about every minute of it. I work in a dual role as an engineer and the financial overseer for an aviation research facility, perform investment research and writing in the evenings that gets featured in major media, cook and exercise regularly, travel internationally, and spend time with my husband. I’ve built and sold a small business, and I’ve completed a graduate degree on the side.

If I didn’t use the tactics described in this article, I wouldn’t have enough focus and drive to do it all.

I can’t promise that these tips will work for you, but what I’m going to try to do is outline, as best I can, all of the tactics I use to boost my energy in a sustainable, long-term way. Some of them are highly practical at first sight. Others may seem a bit more vague or emotional, but I’ll explain the biology behind why those work too, and why they are just as practical as the rest.

For me, the combined effect of all of these tactics has been utterly life-changing for my energy, mood, health, and productivity.
