I, myself, have noticed also that I am more productive doing my research in the morning from 6 a.m. to 11. I though all the while that I am a night person because I can extend staying awake till midnight. But looking backwards, I realized I have done more mental works in the morning.

I've always been a night owl, preferring to go to bed at 3 am and wake at 9 am. But my best writing productivity is from about 8 am to 11:30 am, and if I accomplish some work then, I find I can write more later in the day.

I've found that certain times of the day are better for certain tasks for me. I answer emails and the like when I first wake up in the morning. I work on admin/business stuff from the moment the kids leave for school until they get back with breaks here and there. I am at my most creative after the kids go to bed until my bed time so I use that time to make my Felt Fuzzies and paint. It all adds up to a lot of hours but I love what I do and would do it for free if I could. I agree. I’ve found that certain times of the day are better for certain tasks for me.
