Because your brain tends to be sharpest at short-term & declarative memory tasks in the morning, and more efficient performing semantic processes in the afternoon, here’s a simple breakdown of how you might structure your day for maximum results:
MORNING
8:00 AM – 12:00 PM is the best time of the day for personal development, test-review, problem-solving, report-writing, and math-oriented work.
MID-DAY
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM is best for movement-oriented tasks, like filing away paperwork, doing errands, and practicing music and art.
AFTERNOON
2:00 PM – 6:00 PM is the best time of day for reading-heavy tasks like studying literature and history.
(Now, of course because some of us tend to be “morning people” and others tend to be “night people” there’s a 2-3 hour variance depending on where you fall on that spectrum…)
