What's your most productive time of day?

I'm usually filled with energy not long after waking up. Getting stuff done early makes me feel great. What about you?

It takes me a while to get going. I'm usually most productive right after lunch. I wish I could get it all done early and then have the rest of the day to do whatever I want.......

Usually first thing in the morning around 5AM after my first cup of coffee. I'm pretty much useless after lunch until around 5PM.

I'm most productive long after the family has gone to bed...starting around midnight or later..
When I work outside the home, I work the swing shift 5 pm to 130 am.. it suits me pretty well.

If I get real productive in the normal morning hours, i'm ready to conk out by 10 am and go back to sleep..

early morning...I get the most done at work and at home...once afternoon hits, I'm pretty much shot

Definitely early in the morning. I *have* to be up then getting the kids ready for school, so it really wakes me up. Then I get as much done as possible before I run out of steam

definitely a nightowl here...wait until hubby is in bed and then I can get things done.

I'm a morning person too. I deteriorate fast after about 3pm.

**mom22grls** · 09-10-2005, 04:35 PM

Mornin' person, too. I peeter out after lunch. Sometimes I get a second wind after supper, but after 9 I'm done.

Definitly early morning. Get up about five for work and raring to go. I also get a spurt of energy around eight in the evening.

At night between 6pm-9pm - After I get home from work and have had an hour to eat dinner and unwind, I usually have a lot of energy for whatever I'm working on.

**mommy2many** · 09-10-2005, 07:53 PM

My most productive time of day is between 3PM-5PM

**pita1213** · 09-10-2005, 08:24 PM

now that i work 7am - 3pm, my most productive time is first thing in the morning. after dinner i'm so worn out i barely have enough energy to make sure the kids get a shower and i get one too. this last week i've been in bed at 8:30 most nights.
when i was a sahm my most productive time was between midnight and 3 am. everyone else was in bed and i could clean and purge without anyone underfoot. the only thing i saved for during the day was vaccuming. it also left more time during the day to spend with my daughter when ds was in school. we'd take a nap together late in the morning and that was how i'd catch up on my sleep.

I'm a night owl most of the time, and always have been. Usually I get the most accomplished between about 9pm and 1am-- DD is asleep, and DH is either at work or watching TV.

I guess if I went to bed earlier I might have more energy when DD gets up at 7-7:30am

but I often can't sleep anyways.
