Researchers Discover The Most Creative Time of Day

Creativity is least likely to strike in the afternoon, according to a survey that suggests office workers have little chance of solving problems after lunch. A poll of 1,426 people showed that a quarter of us stay up late when seeking inspiration. Taking a shower or just sitting in the bathroom proved to be a popular way of getting the creative juices flowing. The survey found that 10:04pm was the most creative time, while 4:33pm was the least. I'll think of something funny to write here later.

  1. World of Warcraft Time!!! by mfh · · Score: 5, Funny

    FUCK IT. I'm going home!!!!

    (And I'm only working between 10pm and 1am from now on!)

    Because I'll be more productive, I can get away with only working for 3 hours.

    My new World of Warcraft schedule will be as follows:

    8am-1pm (World PvP & farming)
    2pm-9:59pm (BG premades & Arenas)

    With WotLK I won't need to worry about stupid 25man raid times ...which are such a waste of time anyway -- for all my efforts in T6 content I get to replace it all in 3 weeks! x.x

    Wait a minute... it's 4:30pm and I just thought of this brave new strategy. OH SH-

    Having "sitting in the bathroom" and a reference to one's "creative juices" in the same sentence kind of grosses me out for some reason.

    Sounds about right, right after 4:20 people usually tend to get lazy and just not do work in general.

    Early to bed and early to rise makes Jack miss out on his peak creativity period.
