"Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water." — Zen Master Dōgen Picture this: It's 4:30 a.m. in a centuries-old temple tucked into the mountains of Kyoto. While the rest of the world races to check notifications, answer emails, and consume content before their first breath of the day, a Zen monk sits in complete stillness. No phone. No agenda. No productivity hack. Just silence. This isn't laziness. It's one of the most powerful energy management strategies ever developed, and modern neuroscience is finally catching up to what monks figured out 800 years ago.
