Good Morning

I do not know what the deal is with my internal clock these days. I could easily fall asleep by about 8:30 and am wide awake at 6. It's got me wondering if it's my body's way of helping me get more accomplished during the day. I am definitely a morning person. I do my best thinking in the morning. For example, this morning while I was laying in bed contemplating why I was wide awake, it occurred to me that this was a prime opportunity to work with the data that I received from my personal leadership survey. No one else was awake to bother me. There weren't any loud noises outside. I could just think. Amazingly enough in about 15 minutes I had data analyzed, graphs created and an email crafted to send to my staff with reflections. Ahh productivity.

I could never accomplish that much in that short of time at 8pm. There are too many distractions - TV, cars in the parking lot, phone calls. I'm also way too tired by 8pm. By that point my brain has been working all day and it's just plain tired. Knowing this about myself, I think I really need to think about my daily routines and whether I am actually maximizing my time. How could I rearrange my schedule to allow myself more early morning productivity?
