Work At Your Biological Peak Time

Work At Your Biological Peak Time

Getting into flow state is hard if you are low on energy. You need to have the willpower to focus on just one thing and not get distracted along the way. Tapping into your willpower and attention is energy draining, so you need to do it when your mind is sharp and energized.

If you try to get into flow state when you are tired and energy drained, it’ll feel like an uphill battle where you get distracted much easier and have less willpower to stay with your tasks.

Therefore, It's recommend you use your mornings to get into flow state, or right after you took a real break of around 15-30 minutes.
