Marcus used to pride himself on his 5 AM workout routine. Every morning, he'd force himself out of bed, make a protein shake, and hit the gym. But by 10 AM, when his most important client calls happened, he was mentally depleted. His afternoon strategic planning sessions were disasters—his brain felt like mush when he needed it sharp.
Then Marcus discovered something that changed everything: he was a natural night owl forcing himself into a morning person's schedule. When he shifted his workouts to 7 PM and his important decisions to late morning, his whole life transformed. Same activities, different timing, dramatically different results.
This chapter reveals how to map your personal energy patterns and schedule decisions when your brain is actually equipped to make them well.
