When do You Get Your Best Work Done?
Work When You’re In the Zone
Do you know when you get your best work done?
I know that sometimes you just HAVE to get things done, whether you’re in the mood or not.
But if at all possible, try to schedule the things you’re best at when you’re in the zone.
Unfortunately, there is no way to tell when each person’s “in the zone” is, as it can be completely different for each person. I learned at a NAMS event that one instructor works best at 4am!
Well guess what? I better be sleeping (or on an airplane going somewhere fun if I’m awake) at 4am! I guarantee that I would not get my best work done at 4am. I’d be lucky if I could form a coherent sentence at 4am.
I’m still trying to figure out exactly when my “zone” is, but I’ve noticed that first thing in the morning, before I check email or go to any other websites is when I seem to work best. I’ll also have a second burst of getting a lot done about 3 hours after lunch. Usually after I “wake up” from that sleepy part of the afternoon where no one wants to work, I can get a ton of stuff done.
Why is this important?
I’ll tell you why.
