12 Science Approved Hacks To Boss Your Productivity

A terrible truth that all night owls will have to accept is that, generally speaking, the working world is run by early birds.

Although, admittedly, the fact that they're the ones in a position to be in charge of your body clock indicates that they might be onto something.

Anyway, although for many people it's never easy to get up at the crack of dawn, many experts believe that this is the key to productivity and creativity for the rest of the day.

Don't worry, you don't have to leap out of bed like a young gazelle and start firing off emails the moment the first strains of the dawn chorus strike up. In fact, getting up early has nothing to do with spending more time working, and everything to do with spending more time on yourself.

Allowing yourself an extra hour of free time in the morning to do whatever you want is a great way of encouraging yourself to stay focussed on work-related stuff for the rest of the day.

Tempt yourself out of bed with the thought of a good cup of coffee, a proper breakfast and a couple of chapters of your book whilst the house is deliciously quiet and still, then after you've spent some time doing exactly what you want, you can boss the rest of your day.
