The Energy strategy helps you match your work to your current mental and physical state. Instead of treating all tasks as equal, you can explicitly mark them based on how much brainpower or vitality they require.
This is a built-in replacement for what many users previously built manually using Tags/Labels. Now, you can have native support for energy management right in the item properties.
How to enable
To enable this strategy, go to ☰ → Features/Strategies → Energy.
How to use
Once enabled, you can assign three different types of requirements to your tasks: Focus, Energy, and Physical.

You don't have to use all of these! In the strategy settings, you can toggle exactly which indicators you want to see:
Enable Focus / Energy / Physical: If you only care about "Deep Work" (Focus), you can turn off the Energy and Physical options to keep your menu clean.
Icon Styles: Choose between lined icons, filled icons, or emojis to match your setup.
