This is a decent list of recommended times for various actions requiring different mental and physical resources that wax and wan through out the day. But I think anyone paying attention to their productivity has found a similar pattern. The only one I disagree with is working out in the evening. I've found, especially as I get older, the 6pm work-out often doesn't happen. I am just too tired so I have shifted it to first thing in the AM because exercise is too important to short shrift. I mull over the priorities for my day when I am exercising so its not a waste of my early morning powers. I also start to wind down around 9pm by dimming my lights and wearing my blue-blocking glasses to improve my sleep.

I once lived two blocks from a 24Hr Fatness and had no excuse not to go so that really helped. I have to drive now and I try to go every other day. When the weather is nice I take my motorcycle which adds to the incentive. Re: 2): Working out gets me too keyed up for sleep which is another reason to do it in the AM.
