An Hour Before 12 is Worth 2 Past 1

Previously, I wrote, “An hour before 9 is worth 2 after 5.” I’d revise this to, “An hour before 12 is worth 2 past 1.”

My current deep work capacity is 3 hours and I can get most of my work done from 9-12 since most of my meetings are in the afternoon. Past lunchtime, my energy is lowest in the afternoon. Again, this is a reminder to protect my morning, both on the weekdays and weekends.
