What time do you work best?
July 21, 2006
One of the huge advantages of working in an “anywhere office” and having a flexible work schedule is the ability to shift your work hours to the time when you are most productive. I came across this interesting post on the Rational Rants blog on ZDnet:
Working hours: Productivity is highest on your own time by ZDNet’s Mitch Ratcliffe — Researchers have identified “social jet lag,” the disorientation of the body clock by fixed working hours that don’t mesh with the body clock. What times would you work best?

Phil, my best time to work varies from day to day. Sometimes it’s at 2am and other times it’s at 1pm and others it’s at 8am. That is the beauty of the “anywhere office”!
You can work whenever you want. I love being able to sit down when I’m feeling really creative or motivated. And when I’m not creative or motivated I can stay away from my home office and enjoy my son
I completely agree Nell. I am a night owl myself and ususally work better into the wee hours of the morning. Although I must admit as the years pass I find my productive time moving earlier into the day.
The past 6 months I’ve been consciously trying to shift my schedule to get up early in the morning to exercise and get a few hours of work in before 9 when most everyone else is getting into the office. I’ve found this quiet time to be a really productivity booster!
