My best work happens before the gummies kick in.

funny

Yes. It’s the pressure of a deadline. When they kick in, I gotta go to bed.

Not me. At night I’m drained from work and 2 kids under 5. Literally can’t think.

For me it’s less about time of day and more about the amount of uninterrupted time I have. Spending on average 4-6 hrs/day in meetings is just soul crushing. I’ll get a free 30 mins here and there, which isn’t enough time to really dive into anything.

THIS. I'm also a morning person, so the more uninterrupted time I have before about 2pm, the more I can really crank out.

Yes. 9pm-2am is when i get most of my work done. Lol

Yeah it’s been proven for many 2-3 am is like magic hour creative-wise. Kind of makes sense. You can focus and no one is bothering you.

I work from 12-4AM, sleep 'til noon unless there's a morning meeting.

I work best when I first sit at the desk in the morning. I’m loaded with energy...which begins to drop as I start snacking.

I have my best ideas when I’m in the shower or running- ie, when my mind is free to wander without a screen or people distracting me.

Yeah right before I’m trying to sleep 😭

Yes and even more so if I get to sleep in. Office hours fucks me up even though I end up working well into the night anyways.

Looking for recommendations on financial modeling courses (paid) that I can take for 3 statements/operating model, valuations, M&A, & LBO. Have been getting interviews with banks (3 in 2 months) but I come up short with the modeling experience (and weak on the technicals too). I’m thinking doing a modeling course will help with the no modeling experience + update my technicals? Thanks.
