Even if you love to work, you can’t do it constantly from morning until late at night— at least not for the long haul.

What you might not know is that when you get the right amount of sleep, you will have more energy and drive to do great things in the other five areas of your life.

The trick is to know at what time you work best, and then do your most essential tasks at this time. This is where daily routines come in, because they help you both identify and maximize those peak times for the six areas of your life.

Treat your peak hours as the most valuable by using them to complete the most important tasks on your list.

If you aren’t already aware of when your energy is at its peak, then monitor your behavior for a week. We suggest you keep a journal of how you feel and when you get the most done during different times of day. Identify the moments when you feel super productive.
