Nicole Hollar explains why productivity follows a bell curve through the day. She recommends cutting your worst working hours, consolidating focused blocks, and building in rest to sharpen your actual output.
You can start at 8:00 AM and be going at 8:00 PM, but if you really looked at your efficiency and productivity over that period of time, you're probably going to find that there's some type of a bell curve in there, a time of day where you're more or less productive. If we can get rid of those outliers, take some time for ourselves, you might find that you are even more productive because you're going to have more consolidated time. where you have more focus and higher levels of productivity, even though you practiced self-care.
