It seems that inspiration can strike any time, day or night, no matter the circumstance or surroundings.
But this got me wondering when and where I do my best work. Where am I the most creative and efficient? Is there a specific time of day that I work best?
Personally, I do my best reading and research early in the day, when the sun is rising, with a cup of coffee or tea in hand, before I have a chance to interact with anyone else (hence why I recently decided to work from 8:30am to 4:30pm at my office). In regards to administrative, management, and other business-related practices, I tend to do best in the middle of the day in front of a computer, where I can manage things by spreading them out across a table or desk and can access any files or other materials I might need to stay well-informed and organized. However, I often do my best creative and artistic work long after this, at night, once the quiet of dusk has settled and I am alone again, usually sitting on the floor or close to the ground with materials spread out all over the floor. For some reason, my center of balance is extremely important to the way my brain works.
When do you do your best work? Do you find different times of day for different types of work? If you could set your own schedule, what would it be like?
