I much prefer writing these posts in the morning. However, I’m often busy and find myself getting to it at the end of the day.
It’s not just that I’m tired or think less clearly in the evening, but I approach reflection differently at the end of the day versus the beginning.
When writing early, I’m reflecting on yesterday. My subconscious has had time to process things while I sleep, and I’m trying to remember what I learned, what was interesting, and what was difficult.
When writing at the end of the day, I’m scrambling to reflect on the day without creating the appropriate space to do so.
Building writing into my morning schedule is something I’m trying to do more of in 2025.
