Circadian Rhythm
@allygreer
Know those feelings when you...
@allygreer
Hit the sweet spot on your driver?
@allygreer
Toss that crumpled paper straight into the waste
basket?
@allygreer
Or come up with the perfect punchline?
@allygreer
Ahhh...the joy that isheightened
cognitive ability.
@allygreer
This is no coincidence, though...
...ever hear of a circadian rhythm?
@allygreer
It’s a biological clock in our bodies.
@allygreer
And it keeps us alert during the ‘right’ times
of the day.
@allygreer
Because of this, it’s not unusual
to experience moments with peaks
in focus and creativity.
@allygreer
But, there’s a catch.
@allygreer
Every body responds uniquelyto its circadian rhythm.
@allygreer
Figuring out your own takesa little bit of effort.
@allygreer
But once you do...
Your productivity will soar.
@allygreer
Here’s the secret:
It’s one part self-awareness,
one part recording,
and two parts willingness to make a change.
@allygreer
@allygreer
Spend a few days tracking your levels of
focus, energy, and hunger.
Identify the patterns...
@allygreer
@allygreer
...and begin scheduling your work days accordingly.
Now, you’ve unlocked the efficiency of your own biological processes,
@allygreer
@allygreer
and can dance to your own circadian rhythm.
