Man, why am I like that? I feel like garbage in the morning. Sluggish and stiff. Then I cant think straight till Ive had lunch. Then I feel sluggish after lunch from sitting down. Then finally when its time to clock out, Ive got all this energy and mental clarity. Like all my best productivity happens after 6 PM.
Then it comes time to fall asleep and my brain is running at full-tilt, wide awake; reliving every last mistake I’ve ever made and how I could do better until I look at the clock and realize it’s been 3 hours.
And now imagine your self-employed and you're pretty much in my universe. Customers aren't people, they are a measure of disturbance. Nevertheless I love my customers, I'm just built that way I guess.
As someone else said, a good protein-based breakfast helps not be too hungry for lunch, and I'd add that if caffeine is tough but necessary, switch to black/oolong tea, you can add cream/sugar and it's close to milk coffee. Much lower caffeine, yet still works.
Seems about right. Let's be honest 3 hours of actual work is probably the max I've ever done. In a single day. Most days 30mins to a hour. This is why everyone actually so busy to keep it this way... Lol
