sounds like you are more of a morning person,
as a non-morning person, it usually takes me about 4-6 hours to get up-to-speed. because there would be some unexpected twists and turns that will distract me from the task.
meanwhile, exact opposite. if i cannot "solve" an issue, if i just wait till the evening by going for a 100+km bicycle ride, i magically solve the problem in the evening (right about at dusk and after).
- satvikpendem 1y agoI don't get it, what do you do for 4 to 6 hours? I can understand an hour as sometimes I get coffee and relax into the work but 4 to 6 hours? That's like most of the workday already gone.
- pazimzadeh 1y ago> That's like most of the workday already gone if you don't work in the evenings, which he explicitly mentioned he does probably he does things easy tasks, things that can be done on autopilot, gradually moving on to initial attempts at harder tasks?
- satvikpendem 1y agoSo they're just in a state of quasi work for the entire day in the evenings too? If they spend 6 hours on easy tasks when do they have the time for the hard tasks unless they work something like 12 hour days?
- pazimzadeh 1y agoit sounds like they have time to go on a 100+ km bike ride throughout during the day, which isn't work. just going off of what they wrote.. seems like they enjoy what they do and/or enjoy what they do, which is critical for non-morning people
- rolisz 1y agoBrain don't work (comment written at 8AM my time). I'm not a morning person either. Coffee doesn't really help. For me it not 4-6 hours, but 2 is common.
- auggierose 1y agoThat doesn't sound like you are a non-morning person, but that you have a very inefficient start of the day. Good news: you might be able to add as much as 20 hours of productivity to your week!
- j_bum 1y agoI’d love to hear how to start today efficiently. Please do share! Sincerely, A true night owl.
- auggierose 1y agoGo to bed not later than 11pm. Wake up not later than 6am. Try to avoid HN after waking up and get straight to work. If you are productive as a night owl, you will be even more productive this way.
- satvikpendem 1y agoThe problem is the falling asleep part for many night owls, insomnia is the issue.
- smartbit 1y agoHave you tried sports? Someone mentioned bicycling 100km which imho is quite exhausting and gives me a good night of sleep.
- pvtmert 1y agoI do cycling, currently based in Luxembourg. I cycle (for fun & sports) about 10.000 (ten-thousand) kilometers per year. I also like 100+km rides, although I do that weekly mostly between mid-April to mid-September period... I can easily sleep 10 hours, start at any time. It's not a problem of falling asleep, it's a problem of waking up :)

- bayindirh 1y agoI'm not a "very" morning person. I generally wake around 7am in the morning, and start my wind-down at 11:00 pm. I generally plan my next morning and half day before I go to bed. This allows me to create a routine with some flexibility for the morning. While I can, and like to work, at nights, I do it less and less. Increasing the efficiency of my work routine is a more rewarding process for me. Also, I'm more conscious about my biorhythm now, so I want to give my bods enough time to detox itself, esp around 1-3pm, when your brain "takes the chemical trash out".
