interesting : I've often felt that this was the way to go.
But on the other end, when I stay up at night, get into the "flow", I really like that feeling that my time is not "bounded". ok, it's bounded because at some point I'll need to sleep, but you get the idea.
I have the feeling that working on a project in the morning before kids and wife get up in the morning would put additional stress (like "sh*t, I have only 30min left to solve this"). That would make the thing not nearly as enjoyable as in the evening.
How do you relate to this feeling ? Maybe those morning hours should be dedicated to tasks that have a highly predictable duration (working out / cleaning inbox / ...) and not to "discovery mode" (when you want to solve something but have no idea on how to do it).
- shrubby 5y agoI have some margin in the mornings so should I hit something flow-ish I'll skip my morning stuff or take a train to shorten the cycling commute. And my thoughtwork isn't time critical most of the times so my approach will not fit everyone.
