The Best Time of Day to Do Everything, According to Science [Infographic]

We often talk about optimizing your website and optimizing your marketing ... but what about optimizing your day?

Think about all the things you do in a given day, from eating meals and cleaning your apartment to brainstorming ideas and holding meetings. Believe it or not, there's an optimum time of day to complete every single one of these activities.

A lot of it has to do with taking advantage of your body's natural rhythms. For example, neuroscientists recommend waiting until 9:30 a.m. to drink your morning coffee because that’s when your stress levels tend to drop, and you really don’t need the caffeine boost until afterward. Others have to do with weekly schedules: Studies also show that scheduling meetings at 3:00 p.m., especially on Tuesdays, increases the likelihood of high attendance.

What other activities have an optimum time in the day? Check out the infographic below from NetCredit for a full list.
