Perform Well in Public But Still Feel Drained? You Might Be an Introverted Extrovert

When we talk about extroverts and introverts it’s often oversimplified in black-and-white terms.

But here’s the thing: true extroversion is at one end of the scale and true introversion is on the other end. This means that most people fall somewhere in between. 

So, yes, you might be slightly more introverted, but you might also have some extrovert qualities or traits, making things like public speaking or socializing that much easier. And this is completely normal. 

In fact, many people are ambiverts individuals who draw energy from both solitude and social interaction, depending on the context. So if you’re someone who enjoys performing in public but still needs downtime afterward, you’re not contradicting yourself - you’re just more nuanced than a label.

Through all of this, you can come back at life with a newfound perspective and a renewed sense of vigor.

Energy-Based Scheduling

Some parts of the day feel like everything just flows. Your mind feels clear, ideas come easily, and you’re getting things done without much resistance. Other times, even simple tasks feel like running a marathon. That’s not about motivation or discipline; it’s your energy levels shifting throughout the day as you navigate the same mundane tasks or take on new ones. Tuning into those natural patterns can make a huge difference in how productive and grounded you feel.

Energy-based scheduling means matching your most important or mentally demanding tasks with the times when you naturally feel the most alert and focused. Instead of pushing through low-energy periods to tackle deep work, you use those quieter hours for smaller, easier tasks or breaks. It only takes a week of paying attention to your personal energy rhythm, to start recognizing your peak times. That small bit of self-awareness can unlock a much smoother way of working.

When you start aligning your work with your energy, tasks take less effort and feel more satisfying. You’ll likely notice fewer mistakes, more creative breakthroughs, and a greater sense of ease by the end of your day. It becomes easier to focus when it counts, and easier to give yourself grace when you’re not firing on all cylinders. Instead of trying to power through at the wrong times, you create a rhythm that actually supports your well-being.

To try this out, spend the next seven days tracking your energy. Something simple like a quick note in your phone or planner about when you feel most energized, focused, or drained. At the end of the week, look for patterns. Then, try scheduling your most important tasks during those natural highs. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Even shifting one or two tasks to better time slots can bring more clarity and calm to your routine.
