What Is Your Prime Time?

We have all labeled ourselves.  We identify as being a “night owl” or “early bird”, for example.  Some people work best in the middle of the day. This is something that I know has helped me when I decide when I want to tackle something.

Our bodies are wired to function differently.  Some people naturally jump out of bed early, eager to take on the day.  They start their day full force and get a lot accomplished during the day and then are out of energy in the evening and “done.”  Others need a lot of time to wake up and get moving. They need time to think about their day, and may like to wake up slowly with their favorite beverage.  (Mine is tea!) And others are neither morning or night people. They accomplish a lot and focus best during the middle of the day. This is what is called your Prime Time. Your Prime Time is the best time of day for you to do focused work and use your mental energy for its greatest success.

Understanding your prime time will make a difference when you have things to do that need focused energy.  For example, if I am working on paying the bills, I would not choose to do this in the evening or anytime after dinner. I will usually focus on this between 9 am - 2 pm. This is my Prime Time.  This is the time that I can do my focused work and not become distracted - and my brain isn't fatigued! I choose to fold laundry in the evening while I am winding down and watching a recorded show on tv.  Since it doesn’t take much brain power to fold the laundry, I do that late in the evening before bed.  

​You may be more of a night owl and gain your focused energy later in the evening.  If this is you, then do the things that take less brain power when your kids are around and you’re managing your household tasks.  You may like to do those focused energy tasks later at night when your family is asleep and the house is quiet.

When you look at the things that you need to do, I’m encouraging you to look at the things and decide if it takes more focused work or not. You may want to create two categories. The things that take more focused energy should be plugged into the time of day that you are at your peak.  The things that don’t need a lot of brain power can be plugged into the time of day that your focused attention isn’t needed. This will eliminate frustration when you are going through your weekly tasks if you are matching the task with the energy needed.

    I coach busy, tired, and overwhelmed women who struggle with "winning at work and losing at home".  We work together to transform your life from chaotic to calm.  De-cluttering your home, paper piles, and over-flowing schedule will you the confidence, time an energy to do what God created for you to do. 

    I am a Christian, wife, and mom to six :)  I've struggled with feelings of hopelessness, depression, and overwhelm. I know first-hand that life can be really hard.  I also know that when you have someone walking along side of you, changing things in your life is so much easier.  We all need someone to walk beside us.  Let's Do It Together!
