Later in the evenings for me.  Doing business on both coasts means I'm often busy and starting my day off behind (I start at 7am here, which means it's already 10am on the east coast and my inbox is full!).  Evenings are my opportunity to unwind and address things with no interruptions.

Debbie Reynolds ... I've found that I have 2 distinct "highs" of the day.  Each typically addresses different portions of my responsibilities and services.  The morning is my "high" for paperwork.  Industry personnel are typically in their offices and available.  The 2nd "high" comes at the latter part of the day.  That is when my clients often are most available and in touch.

It's not the time of day, but what I'm doing.  When I take a shower, I go into automatic mode.  I have a pattern for bathing I learned in the Navy, and do the same thing every time.  Meanwhile, my mind goes off into never land, and continually thinks about marketing stuff ... my best marketing platforms happened when I was washing my hair.

I have struggled to get my mornings to become productive. I'm a work horse between 1pm and 6pm in the day. I power through calls and emails and my social media marketing. I have since been making appointments during the morning times when I'm not as productive, so that it becomes networking productivity.
