Early bird, or night owl?
Naturally I’m definitely a night owl. I can get started in the morning without difficulty but I do my best work in the afternoon and evenings. I tend to take nice hot relaxing showers before I go to bed, I find it helps me get to sleep easier and it is often during these relaxing times under the hot spray that my best thoughts arrive. I’m a huge fan, and I’ve written before about how useful it is to seed the subconscious mind with work and then reap the rewards when you are doing totally unrelated things. I like the idea that as I am relaxing under the warm water, which is my “home element” and it’s during these times that I have most of my epiphanies. There is more for me in the evening hours than ever in the morning hours. Too early and my mind isn’t running, honestly I’m usually besotted by dreamstuff that I drag into my waking life from my dreams to be useful for very much at all. I’ve found that I can dislodge a lot of the backed up dreamstuff if I journal it out. I used to muse that my mornings are occupied by dull setup procedures and that I don’t get seriously engaged until late morning bridging over to early afternoon and running into the night.
