In the workday I definitely prefer being productive and focussed in the morning, which I keep up from 9 until lunch at 12:30 if I take movement breaks and stay hydrated and caffeinated. I tend to slump after lunch and prefer to do more social and ad hoc work like meetings, responding to Slack questions, pair programming etc.

Unfortunately my team at work schedules meetings in the morning so the afternoon is free for focus work. 🙃 I get by with extensive use of body doubling videos, pomodoro timers and rain and thunderstorm sounds, but it's challenging working against your body's rhythms.
