There’s an optimal time to do everything. When is the best time to…
THE HARDEST THING YOU’LL DO ALL DAY: First thing in the morning! Your stress hormone goes up just before you get up, and that increases your blood sugar level, giving you the boost you need to get thru a difficult situation!
MAKE A PRESENTATION: 10am — Nothing worse than public speaking with a raspy voice! If you make a presentation mid-morning, you’ll have worked all the sleepiness out of your voice and had a chance to grab a glass of water and get hydrated!
MAKE MAJOR STRATEGIC DECISIONS: Late morning –Your body temperature goes up in the morning, and so do your levels of alertness! Your brain is in a better position to process information!
BEST TIME TO MAKE YOUR MOVE ON A POTENTIAL DATE: 11:55am — If you are hot after a coworker, ask him or her out just before lunch! People are usually more receptive right before they leave for lunch, because their minds aren’t bogged down and are in a better mood!
BEST TIME TO READ TEDIOUS REPORTS WITH LOTS OF NUMBERS IN THEM: Early afternoon — Your vision improves throughout the day…it starts off a bit blurry in the morning and gets sharper as the day goes on!
BEST TIME TO SNACK: 2pm — Eat a handful of nuts. The protein will increase your energy, and the fat will keep you full until dinner.
BEST TIME TO FIRE SOMEBODY: Mid-afternoon — Even if you have to ruin your employees’ day, you don’t have to ruin their lives. Heart attacks are more likely to hit in the first three hours after you wake up than at any other time.
BEST TIME TO TEE OFF WITH CLIENTS: 4:50pm: Typically, hand-eye coordination reaches optimal levels in the late afternoon.
