I am definitely more of a morning person (although I will admit I do hit the snooze button a couple times during the week) and I find that I am most productive before the afternoon slump hits - and then by 8pm my brain shuts off entirely.
In a recent study published by the American Psychological Association, it was suggested that early birds are generally happier than night owls, and employees who complete certain tasks before midday tend to be more productive and high-functioning.
These tasks are:
- Make a work to-do list the day before
- Get a full night's rest
- Avoid hitting snooze
- Exercise
- Practice a morning ritual
- Eat breakfast
- Arrive at the office on time
- Check in with your boss and/or employees
- Tackle the big projects first
- Avoid morning meetings
- Allot time for following up on messages
- Take a mid-morning break
Do you do any of these things before noon?
