1/ Don’t listen to those productivity gurus.

⏰ Waking up at 6am won’t make you successful.

2/ We’ve been sold the mantra of “early bird gets the worm” but everyone has different peak hours.

As managers, we need to be cognizant of the fact that people work differently.

And, more specifically, that people work differently at different times.

3/ If you want to enhance your productivity, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a morning person or a night owl, or if you go for a run at 6 am or 6 pm.

Instead, it’s up to you to make the most of your day, and to learn when you work and feel your best.

4/ Brian Tracy calls this your prime time:

“Your internal prime time is the time of day, according to your body clock, when you are the most alert and productive.”

5/ Harnessing your prime time can supercharge your productivity.

6/ At @JotForm, I’ve done my best to build this idea into our work culture.

Our flex time policy gives our people the freedom to work when they work best –– whether that means coming in earlier or starting later.

7/ Managing people is ultimately about helping them do whatever they do best. And, that requires remembering that they’re human.

And, knowing that all humans weren’t meant to work from 9-5.
