Early birds vs Night hawks (which one are you?)
As the title suggests, which one of the above are you, and are there any particular reasons why you prefer the morning or nights?
Personally, I constantly go back and forth between being productive during the early hours vs late at night. I've never been the best with keeping morning routines and it can take me a while to get into a flow.
night hawk sounds so much cooler than night owl 😀
indie hacking times 10:30 pm - 1am (wake up 8am)
Right?! I heard it a while back and haven't used night owl once since.
Early bird, baby! Up by ~4:30/5am and in bed by 10. This is all pre-pandemic, of course 😇
You know I love you for most things other than this, right? :)
😁🥰
My heart says early bird but my mind does night hawks :)
I am with you on that one!
Early in the morning! I've been waking up at 5 am for the last year and at 6 am for the four years before that.
You sound like you are struggling to be disciplined with your sleep habits. (Consistent wake-up time, hours of sleeping, morning routine, etc.) What bothers you the most about it?
I really struggle with this. I'm a nighthawk and find it really hard to work to a normal schedule. I'm most productive in the evenings, it's often the only time I get to fully focus. I have kids. I'm constantly tired.
I work for myself now so it's easier, but during my agency (design and marketing) years I'd regularly work through the night on pitches and projects.
I was a late-night person my whole life, then kids came along and changed all that. I love early mornings now.
However, with full-on WFH and also having to do calls in different time zones late at night, I am working later and getting up later. Excited to move back to the west coast so I can get back on my super early mornings and be in bed earlier. I love being away before the rest of the world is.
I am definitely a Night Hawk. Waking up in the morning just isn't for me somehow, that's why I became an indie hacker. To create something on my own and not having to wake up early every morning for my job someday. 😄
I was a night owl for years and now I have become a early bird. Starting the day with a walk and it really feels great.
