Time or Energy

I read somewhere that the real shortage isn't time... but energy! That we have all the time we require... but the question is... do we have the energy that we need? There are many things in our lives that deplete our energy... and teh real question is, how do we recharge our batteries? Back a few years ago, we talked about battery memory. How you needed to run a battery until it was dead before putting it on the recharger. If you didn't drain it completely, but put it on the charger prematurely, it wouldn't recharge fully... And the next time, would recharge less and so on... Until you had a cordless phone that needed to be put on the charger every hour or something! Sometimes it seems like we treat ourselve that way as well... we run and run and go and go until we collapse, and only then do we recharge ourselves... Luckily, we are not like those older batteries... we can go for a bit and then recharge... go for a bit and recharge and we won't develop a battery memory! That takes a bit of doing though... to stop whatever is going on, to get off the hamster wheel, and recharge... "Oh, but I've still got time before I "need" to recharge, so I'll just keep doing a bit more... and a bit more"... Sound familiar?? Please say "yes", otherwise I'll think this is only me!!! How do you recharge?? And how often??
