About 1 hour after my day starts, but before any meetings have happened. If I log on, I really can't just get to being productive at all, but the period right after I really get started is when I can get most of my work done until there is a possible break, which kicks me out of it.

If you get to 2am best bet is to just keep going and go to bed at 6pm the next day - if you work like a Uni student,

Morning 9 AM - 11 AM and evening 5 PM - 6 PM. I've been monitoring my most productivity hours for the past three months as I'm building a new app that helps improve focus and productivity

If I manage to get a workout session in the morning I’ve realized that I can focus on problem solving a lot more than from a day just going straight to the computer coding and problem solving.

Waking up the whole body seems to help out since I’m fully awake.

When having a half asleep mind and body I can’t really focus and I can tell
