The Lark

You're up before most of the world, often before the alarm, and your mind is at its sharpest while everyone else is still groggy. Early hours feel calm and productive to you; by mid-evening your battery is visibly draining and you're happy to call it a night. Your strength is the morning advantage — you get the hard, clear-headed work done before noon while others are still ramping up. Your blind spot is the back half of the day: late commitments drain you fast, and you can fade right when a night owl is just getting started. Your ideal day: wake naturally around 6–7am, schedule your toughest focus work for the morning, train or exercise early, keep coffee to the early afternoon, and protect a bedtime before 11pm. Lean into your mornings instead of apologising for your early nights.
