Battery Level
Energy levels, drive, and what fuels or drains you. How you manage your reserves and when to switch into low-power mode.
Jake Shane and the Feeling of Getting Fit
Battery Level tracks what fuels or drains someone's energy and drive. Jake Shane had essentially been running his confidence battery on external compliments — every positive comment charged him up, every old photo or negative remark drained him back to zero. He named this explicitly, calling the confidence he felt from compliments 'fake' because it had no stable internal charge behind it. His work in the gym was real, but the battery wasn't drawing from it.
