Mainly early morning, although mornings are also the time of my day subject to most interruptions and admin tasks. However, I can also work well at night, often well into the small hours, since there are fewer distractions.

| Early morning | Jul 4, 2012 |
Before the phones start ringing. Unfortunately, this coincides with the time my children need the greatest level of chivvying ...
| | | |
After 9pm, when the children are in bed and all is quiet. I used to be a morning person - still am - but needs must, and I've learnt that I can work well between 9pm and midnight. It's so nice and quiet, the computer gently glowing etc. Peace! - No - Work and Peace! (my new masterpiece!).

After I've woken up and before fatigue kicks in. Though I do often get a second wind in the late afternoon/evening.
I sometimes intentionally keep difficult bits of work for these times as I know I will be better able to problem-solve.

I can't be fussy about when I can be at my best: I have to take any moments of peace and quiet that come available.

but not too late. After a certain hour I must turn off! I'm just more of a night owl.

| Late mornings | Jul 4, 2012 |
Early morning to start up and get going, then late morning for my most efficient time, long lunch break to reset (if possible, timewise), another burst early afternoon. After that, I try to do routine things only - admin stuff and other things that don't require too much thinking / concentration / creativity.

Less distractions and the weather is generally more pleasant and conducive to productive work
On long days -- quite often recently -- I take a mid-afternoon nap or siesta for about an hour or so, followed by a cuppa when I wake up. Sharpens up the senses a lot!
@Thayenga, long time no see!

Yep. Thought I was seeing double -- recollect having seen this in the not too distant past.
Shall plod on before the eyelids and brain shut up shop for the day.

| I'm not a morning person | Jul 4, 2012 |
...I just got up (and it's 11:00 a.m.)
My excuse: It's the 4th of July here in America. I'll accept birthday presents on her behalf all day long. Thank you.
Some days I work early in the morning, though, due to lack of sleep. I tell myself: I'd rather get up and work than lie in bed sleeplessly.
I also take siestas, Julian, when time allows.

| Other - afternoons are not good | Jul 4, 2012 |
All other times of day are good, with the first three hours of the morning normally being really good (unless of course, I get carried away the night before, and put an extra hour or two in before going to bed).

Some just have to be done in the morning. Given a choice, I am a night owl.
