I am not a morning person.  Anyone who's ever spent any time with me in the morning knows that.  I've been tracking my productivity more closely lately (in terms of tangible, work-related results anyway), and I've found that I am far more productive after lunch than I am before lunch.  This doesn't mean I don't do anything in the morning, I just don't seem to have the same kinds of satisfaction with how I've spent my time.

I originally thought that I was being productive in a different way in the morning.  For instance, in the late afternoon and evening, I enter a fairly reflective state.  In this state, I question the design decisions I've made or the implementation I've chosen.  This is when I do alot of measurement in the form of tests or profiling.  That's plenty productive and useful activity, but in a different way.  I thought maybe the morning was perhaps an analogous, forward-looking phase, readying me for the tangible productivity ahead.  But, no, I'm just not very productive in the morning.

I'd like to find some activity or state of mind I could concentrate on in the morning in order to accomplish more in the morning.  Any ideas?  Does anyone else feel like their mind is more dormant at points during the day?  What do you do about it?
