Energy Solar System Worksheet | Human Edge OS
Human Edge OS Asset

A map of where your energy is actually going

A visual mapping tool that shows you what is at the centre of your week, what is orbiting closely, and what is draining your capacity in the background without you tracking it.

What this is

  • A visual worksheet that uses a solar system metaphor to map the things consuming your energy across a typical week
  • Built for people who feel the drain but cannot point to where it is coming from with any precision
  • Reveals the gap between what you think is taking your energy and what actually is
  • Surfaces the background drains most people miss, the ones that cost nothing in isolation but add up across the week
  • Works as a one-time diagnostic and as a recurring weekly check-in tool

What to do with it

  1. 1 Download the worksheet and set aside ten minutes with your calendar and a typical week in mind
  2. 2 Place your core commitments in the inner orbits and your background concerns in the outer orbits
  3. 3 Mark each item with an energy cost estimate, not a time estimate
  4. 4 Identify the one background item that is costing disproportionately more energy than its position suggests
  5. 5 Decide what you are going to do about that item before the end of this week

The system behind the asset

This asset is one component of a system I built called Human Edge OS. HEOS is the structured layer that holds tools like this one in the right order, with the right cadence, alongside other people doing the same work. If the asset has been useful, HEOS is where it lives as part of an ongoing practice.
