To work at maximum intensity every hour C. To ignore fatigue until work is complete D. To replace planning with motivation

2. Why is open calendar time not always usable capacity? A. Calendars are never useful B. Capacity also depends on attention, energy, recovery, task demands, and emotional state C. Every free hour is equally productive D. Hard work requires no planning

3. Which task is likely to require high cognitive energy? A. Deleting an obvious duplicate file B. Walking between rooms C. Deep troubleshooting of a complex system D. Watching a loading bar

4. What is cognitive load? A. The number of hours in a calendar B. A measure of physical strength C. A meeting invitation setting D. The mental effort required to hold, process, and use information

5. Why can context switching drain energy? A. It forces attention to reset and can increase friction, delay, and error risk B. It always improves focus C. It removes the need for recovery D. It makes complex work effortless

6. What is decision fatigue at a high level? A. A guarantee that decisions are wrong B. Reduced decision quality or willingness after many demanding choices C. A medical diagnosis D. A way to increase motivation automatically

7. Why should personal energy patterns be observed? A. Patterns guarantee every day will be identical B. Tracking replaces sleep and recovery C. Observation helps match demanding work to better capacity windows D. Energy patterns only matter for athletes

8. What is recovery in an energy system? A. A sign of weak discipline B. Something that only matters after failure C. A replacement for skill D. A necessary part of sustaining quality, attention, and consistency

9. Why can unclear priorities drain energy? A. They force repeated decisions about what matters and increase friction before action B. They always increase creativity C. They eliminate opportunity cost D. They make work easier to start

10. What is an open loop? A. A completed task B. An unresolved task, question, commitment, or decision that continues to occupy attention C. A scheduled recovery block D. A password reset process

11. Why can excessive meetings reduce energy? A. Meetings always create progress B. Meetings are free if they are virtual C. Meetings consume attention, create context switching, and may reduce time for focused execution D. Meetings replace deep work

12. What is shallow work batching useful for? A. Avoiding all administrative work forever B. Turning every task into deep work C. Eliminating the need for priorities D. Grouping lower-intensity administrative tasks so they do not fragment higher-value focus time

13. Why are shutdown routines useful? A. They help close loops, capture next actions, and reduce mental carryover B. They force longer workdays C. They replace sleep D. They make all tasks urgent

14. Why does team energy matter? A. Only individual motivation matters B. Communication load, interruptions, unclear ownership, and unsustainable pace can reduce collective performance C. Teams have unlimited capacity D. Team routines replace individual judgment

15. Which statement best summarizes energy as a resource? A. Energy management means avoiding hard work B. The best strategy is constant maximum effort C. Sustainable performance improves when work is matched to capacity, drains are reduced, recovery is protected, and systems support realistic execution D. Fatigue is always a motivation problem
