      no distractions…
      one metaphor i heard is, holding a program in your head is like building a house of cards, every time a phone rings or something breaks your concentration, you have to rebuild the house

      Some people are more diurnal, some are more nocturnal.

      My productivity peak is between 8PM and 11PM, but with kids this is impossible.

    Been trying to understand why I’m like this and I’m noticing the minute the sun starts going down , I become more focused.

    I think this is because the sun is no longer a massive glaring ball of gas my brain has to manage.

    I can’t tell if my hypothesis has any scientific validity but it’s what I tell my managers.
