Morning Me Vs Evening Me

Morning me has my best energy. It’s his to use or lose. He needs to keep his eye on the ball, so my best energy gets used on something worthwhile. He needs to not get sucked into email or social media or someone-is-wrong-on-the-internet. That’s not what I want to spend my best energy on.

Evening me generally has the dregs of my energy tank for the day, so he can dick around. He can file and organize stuff, or goof off on Twitter, or play games. What he should not do is mess with morning me. Which means he should make sure we don’t stay up too late. Morning me is best well rested.

Here’s another thing evening me can do: Decide what morning me should work on tomorrow. There’s a good chance evening me is bummed about something that didn’t get done today. That might be a good candidate.
