We highlight a noncanonical yet natural choice of variables for an efficient derivation of a kinetic equation for the energy density in nonisotropic systems, including internal gravity waves on a vertical plane, inertial, and Rossby waves. The existence of a second quadratic invariant simplifies the kinetic equation and leads to extra conservation laws for resonant interactions. We analytically determine
