I am most productive at night
It appears that I am most productive at night, from about 1am to 7am (which is really early morning). I could spend hours during the day working on something, and it would take so long to accomplish something of relatively average quality. Compare that to last year's Computer Science projects, all of which were done in one night, or two at most, when the given interval was from one week, up to four. The same goes for Maths homework assignments last year and this year. Just now, I've completed an article on Dennis Ritchie and Unix for the university newspaper, which I've been trying to complete with no success for the past few days. I'm not saying that procrastination is a good thing, or that starting late yields better results; a vast majority of the marks I have lost have been because I left the homework or the revision a bit too late. What I am saying is that, during the night, I am much less likely to get distracted than in the day, except by sleep. Then the question is about working at night, rather than leaving things late. This causes problems for people who have to wake up early and start at 9.00 am. People like me. Well, that's what Pepsi is for. And like Mao Zedong once said, "rather than keeping your eyes open and listening to boring lectures, it is better to get some refreshing sleep".
