Then go to the locksmith, and the post office.”ĭespite getting up an hour and a half later than she planned, Yue still managed to have a semi-productive morning. And then I was going to clean my bathroom. I was going to fold all the laundry I didn’t fold this weekend.
I was going to do all the dishes I didn’t do last night. “Oh, I had a list of everything I was going to do,” she said. She had equally ambitious plans on the day we spoke. They included things such as making and drinking tea, reading, making her bed, practicing yoga, watering plants, thinking about the day, etc.
Not an early bird or a night owl meme how to#
In her blog post she showed previous lists she’d made for how to fill make-believe early mornings. In a city where young tech professionals seem destined to work long hours in the pursuit of building the next big thing, Yue’s definition of productivity isn’t necessarily tied to doing more “off-hours” tasks related to her job. I’m not condemned to a lifetime of unproductivity because I can’t get up earlier or I don’t have an affinity for getting up early. In an entertaining post on Medium, Yue wrote about her own lifestyle and her findings related to what “productivity” even means and whether waking up early would contribute to how she measured her own.
Part of the idea came to Yue after reading answers to one of the standard questions in GeekWire’s recurring Working Geek column - profiles of tech and business leaders who offer their insights into how busy professionals get work done. But because she is that data specialist, for Seattle-based augmented writing platform Textio, Yue used her waking hours to dive deeper on whether early risers or night owls are more prone to being productive. It wouldn’t take a data specialist to determine that Yue is not a morning person. The alarm went off, but Yue didn’t get out of bed until 8:15. With a list of tasks she hoped to accomplish before leaving town for the holidays, Julie Yue set her alarm for 6:45 a.m. Textio data insights manager Julie Yue has always wanted to get more done in the early morning.
