Your peak productivity hours may not be the same as others or the same as the, even the typical workday, which is based around what we like a human circadian rhythm.

yes, we might all have the same circadian structures, but your peak productivity depends on your individual biology and it depends on your individual rhythm.

When I was in like the early days of university, I remember going to this, I don't know what it was, like a module or like a lecture.

It was like on studying effectively.

And in it, the lecturer or like the person leading it was like, your best study time is 9 a.m.

to 12 p.m.

and 3 p.m.

to 7 p.m.

I don't know where she got that from.

And I tried to stick with that for ages.

I'd be like, no, I need to study 9am.

I got to be at the library until I realized like I was not getting a single thing done during that whole time.

Like, I'm a night owl, I like working, I like studying, I like writing, creating after 7 p.m.

After 7 p.m.

I can focus for hours.

I know my mum is the same.

And we were actually having this conversation recently where I was like, how did you get so much work done when we were kids?

Like, she had three kids.

and she was working like multiple jobs and she was telling me how her peak performance hours were always for her like 10 p.m to 2 a.m so she would be working when we were asleep um and i was like huh that's where i get it but there's another name for a person like this obviously a night owl uh in comparison to those like 5 a.m club early birds

And I just feel like if I tried to do those 5am wake ups, I could never get anything done.
