When do you feel most productive?
I generally feel very productive after a good night’s sleep as I start my day with a nice hot cup of coffee. The initial hours of the day is when most of the new ideas start crowding my mind like chirping birds – every little bird wanting to sing their own little song into my over-thinking mind.
Then at some point after a couple hours into the day anxiety kicks in. That’s when I choose to do most of my important work. Since I have high-functioning anxiety – work and anxiety for me go hand in hand.
I crash after the coffee and couple of ours of productivity have exhausted my mind and my brain. That’s when I choose to take a nap which is a fairly new habit that I got into after I got COVID.
The afternoon nap is not always successful. Sometimes I just try to catch a few winks with no luck and then just get on with my day in my exhausted state.
But then there are times when I do catch a successful power nap. And then once I wake up from my siesta is when I feel the most productive!!
I can go on until late in the night, especially after a good power nap in the afternoon. Sometimes even until the wee hours of the morning keeping my productivity pretty intact the whole time!
There is something about moonlight that fosters creativity. The intuition is at its peak. Ideas blossom like the spring and writing takes a very different flavor.
I am pretty sure this is the routine of most nocturnals!
The late-night hours after 11 pm are a magical time…
