10% Happier with Dan Harris
This new book by Daniel Pink explored the science of timing, arguing that doing tasks at the right time based on 'peak, trough or recovery' energy periods can increase effectiveness. The author dedicated years to researching timing across multiple disciplines, including chronobiology, which was challenging due to the technical nature of the research.
His newest successful book is called When the scientific secrets of perfect timing so let me just say before we get into this that this Daniel represents a bit of a pivot that we're actually trying to...

The idea here is that we think that timing is an art but it's really a science and all of us in our lives make all kinds of decisions about when to do things when should I work out when should I do this kind of work when should I do that kind of work when should I start a project when should I abandon a project
The main point in a lot of this research about timing over the course of a day is that our cognitive abilities don't remain the same throughout the day our cognitive abilities change over the course of a day
The best time of day to do something depends on what that something is
