• Daily Idea - Optimize Your Energy

Track Energy. Optimize Your Life.

Want to take the next step to and build this out? NTE Zero to One can help.

The One Liner

Outsmart burnout. Schedule your life around your energy.

The 140 character tweet (or X) version

You track calories. You track steps.
Why not track your energy?
This app shows you which meetings, people, and habits drain or fuel you.
So you can optimize your life like a high-performance machine.

The Longer Story Version

The Problem

You’re not tired. You’re mismanaged.

Most people don’t have a time problem.
They have an energy problem.

We say yes to meetings that kill our vibe.
We put deep work after energy-zapping calls.
We work out at the exact hour we crash every day then wonder why we skipped.

You wake up, smash coffee, hustle through a random schedule, and by 3pm you’re Googling “how to stay awake without quitting your job.”

No system. No awareness. Just vibes and burnout.

But high-performers? They optimize for energy.
They know when they think best.
They know which people give them juice and which ones suck it out of them like corporate vampires.

Imagine if you had that same awareness without needing a life coach, therapist, or monk retreat.

The Solution

An app that turns your day into a science experiment.

Every time you finish a meeting, workout, deep work sprint, or doomscrolling session you get a 5-second pulse check.

“How do you feel right now?

• Energized

• Meh

• Drained”

That’s it.

The app watches. Learns. Spots patterns.
You feel great after solo deep work at 10am? Cool.
You crash after your weekly team call? Noted.
Your podcast prep time at 6pm? Consistently high energy. Add more of that.

Over time, the app gives you a personal energy map.
It shows you:

• Your energy peaks and dips across the day/week.

• The people or tasks that drain you vs fuel you.

• Which work rhythms maximize your focus.

And most importantly:
It helps you schedule your life around your real energy not some productivity porn calendar.

It’s like Fitbit for your vibe.

How We’d Build It

Beginner Mode (MVP)

• Survey Loop: Use Tally.so or Typedream Forms to send quick 1-click surveys post-event.

• Automations: Pipe form responses to Airtable via Zapier or Make, timestamped + tagged.

• Dash UI: Use Softr or Glide to spin up a slick frontend with visual energy graphs.

• Distribution: Start with knowledge workers via Notion creator collabs, “Energy Tracker for Creators” angle.

Intermediate Mode

• Calendar Sync: Auto-tag activities by syncing with Google Calendar or Outlook.

• Mobile App: Wrap it with FlutterFlow or Thunkable for mobile pings.

• Auto-Segmentation: Group patterns by type (1:1s, deep work, exercise, etc.).

• GTM: Partner with HR coaches or burnout recovery newsletters. Give them a white-labeled version.

Expert Mode

• LLM Insights: Use GPT-4o to auto-summarize weekly trends + suggest schedule changes (“Move deep work to mornings based on your data”).

• Wearable Sync: Plug into Oura or Whoop for sleep + HRV context.

• Enterprise Plan: Build a team dashboard for startups who want energy-aware calendars (sell to EA teams, founders, chiefs of staff).

• Viral Loop: “Here’s my energy map” social shares. Everyone loves aesthetic self-data.

Why It Needs to Exist

Because we’re not machines, we’re batteries.

And most people are running their lives like their iPhone in Low Power Mode: always on, always drained, never aware.

This tool flips the script.
It helps you make decisions not based on what sounds good but based on what feels good and performs better.

Burnout is real. Energy is finite.
Optimize for it and you win the long game.

You Keep Tweaking. Never Shipping.

The idea’s been living rent-free in your head.
You’ve got the name, the vibe, maybe a half-built landing page.
But you keep rewriting the story.
Trying to make it perfect before you show anyone.

And so… you never start.
Not really.

NTE Zero to One breaks that loop.
We help you stop overthinking and start building:
A clear story, a real plan, and the next steps that actually matter.

Less spinning. More shipping.

INFLUENCER COURT: THE ENERGY APP TRIAL

(A courtroom parody in one act. Inspired by actual Twitter arguments.)

[SCENE: The courtroom. Wooden walls. Gavel ready. Judge sipping cold brew through gritted teeth.]

Judge:
Court is now in session. The startup known as “Energy Tracker” stands accused of being… too soft.
Too emotional. Too vibe-based.
We’ll hear both sides before the jury decides: helpful tool or just another dopamine-soaked self-care scam?

Prosecution: Chad Velocity, Productivity Bro & Biohacker.
(Wearing a Whoop band and $1,200 hoodie)

Chad:
Your Honor, let’s be clear:
Energy tracking is a glorified feelings journal.

Real founders don’t need an app to tell them Karen from accounting is an energy vampire. You know what drains me? Wasting time rating my vibes like it’s Yelp for emotions.

You think Zuck built Facebook by checking in with his “midday slump”? No. He just kept going.
Tired? Push through.
Burned out? Optimize your macros.
Feel low? Cold plunge, baby.

This tool is soft. It’s productivity theater wrapped in pastel UI.

Defense: Sage Evergreen, Wellness Creator & Digital Minimalist.
(Wearing linen, barefoot, glowing for no reason)

Sage:
Your Honor, this isn’t softness.
It’s data. From your own body.
You track your workouts. You track your sleep. Why stop at energy?

You think you’re grinding 12 hours a day. But 6 of those hours? Trash-tier output. Because your energy was wrecked from that 1PM meeting with Brad.
This app doesn’t coddle you, it exposes your broken schedule.

Energy is the new currency.
And if you don’t know how you spend it, you’re broke in a way no crypto coin can fix.

Also, the app color palette slaps.
That’s not relevant, I just wanted to say it.

Judge (a founder who hasn’t taken a full weekend off since 2017):
I’m torn.
Part of me agrees with Chad, this feels a bit… soft. Like journaling for people who microdose mushrooms.

But I also can’t ignore the fact that I almost cried on a Zoom yesterday because my 3PM energy flatlined after 5 back-to-backs.

Maybe… this thing is actually useful.

Let’s see what the jury thinks.

[The Jury: You.]

You're the one burning out at 4PM, wondering why you scheduled deep work after a brainstorming meeting that gave you a headache.

You're the one writing tweets at midnight, only to delete them in the morning because they made no sense.

Maybe this isn’t soft.
Maybe it’s smart.

Maybe knowing when you suck is the fastest way to stop sucking.

VERDICT: TBD.
But if you’re reading this and thinking
“Damn, I kinda want this app”…
you already know how you'd vote.

Build it. And NTE Zero To One is happy to help.
