The difference is huge, though, isn't it? Seems like a good skill to have would be the ability to recognize FE when it takes over, and to able to return to CE as quickly as possible.

I was thinking of it in terms of byproducts of using the various types of energy. Frantic energy makes you feel over-extended, possibly grumpy, and in need of more frantic energy to compensate, while calm energy leaves you feeling tired but not over-extended and eager to do more once you rest a bit. If only calm energy were anywhere near as easy to come by as frantic energy. I like that. I was thinking of it in terms of byproducts of using the various types of energy.

Bad tired is the kind of fatigue I get from working myself too hard, stressing myself out, spreading myself too thin, not making time for exercise, not leaving the house enough, etc. Good tired is the kind of exhaustion I get after going for a run, spending the day hiking, or being satisfyingly productive.
