Do You Know Your Peak Productivity Hour?

The last couple of days I had been feeling some level of frustration over?
my productivity. Why am I struggling to get work done??
After giving it some thought, I concluded that none of these was a good reason because I have managed to author more than 9 books and serve multiple clients while dealing with the same circumstances. For a while, I couldn't tell why I had been lagging.
Anyway, today, my baby woke up at night due to some discomfort. After calming her down, I almost went back to sleep when I remembered I had some backlog. This was 4am.
I decided to head to my work space. I put my phone away because I know what a culprit it can when it comes to distractions. Sure enough, I managed to grind through work that has been a challenge to complete over three days.

What changed? It hit me that I had messed up my sleep schedule and stopped working up my peak productivity time. I had also developed the bad habit of being too cozy with my phone, too early in the morning.
Additionally, I remembered that whenever I become deliberate and ruthless about protecting this peak?productivity time, I find myself covering so much ground that people around me wonder how I manage.

2 年I feel my peak productivity hours are between 4 am and 8 am. I have the least distractions during that time. ??
