A quick tip! Take note of when you are most innovative; not just when you are most productive.

My friends often joke with me that I am not a morning person or a night person, but I have a two hour window in the afternoon. This is true for my level of alertness, but not for the time when I am most innovative.

I actually find I am most innovative during the times when I am least alert. For me late at night and early in the morning, I have an increased ability to synthesize ideas and innovate. The reason for this is that it is during these times my mind is the least cluttered and new ideas and connections are easily made.

When are you most innovative?
