What time of day do you feel the most creative?

Well, I could have written this post myself, LOL. I definitely feel most creative in the mornings (all morning) and sometimes late at night (sometimes very late...when I should really be in bed instead). I'm still WFH and my scrapbook/craft room is also my home office, so every morning when I come in and log on to start my workday, I look longingly at my craft table and wish I was doing something there instead. Luckily my work desk & computers sit in the corner facing mostly away from my scrap desk (adjacent, but my back is at an angle to it), so it's not in my face all day.

It's something about the mornings though that just get me itching to start crafting. My scrapbook/craft/office room get a lot of natural light and faces northeast so morning light is the most abundant. Maybe that is what draws me.

One thing I have found is that if I do a little bit of setup/prep at the end of a crafting session so that the next "thing" is ready for me to start, it really helps to give me the mojo to get going whenever I get time to craft again. So at the end of a session, I'll do a quick clean off the work area (not a full/major clean-up, but I'll clear away scraps, put back any papers I had out, tools back in place in my desktop organizer, etc.). Then I'll go ahead and pull the photos for the next LO (usually a double-page for me) or other project, pull a few choices for background papers and other accent papers, and pull or jot down any initial sketch ideas I might have for the upcoming LO. The important thing is not to make any real/final decisions on the next step, but have the photos and a few choices laid out on a clean(-ish) slate desktop for a starting point. That has really helped me because I can mull over the photos and papers (if any) I've already pulled over the period of time until my next crafting session. It gets my brain thinking about (and anticipating!) what's next. It has helped me get a faster start and get my creative energy flowing (during non-crafting time) so that I'm all geared up and ready to go when I do have time, if that makes sense. I find myself anticipating it more that way. Plus I've found I have a hard time starting a new LO/project/craft with the flotsam of the previous one still scattered all over the desk.

Whenever I don't have time to craft...? sigh.

Having something ready to go/in progress on the table definitely helps, sitting down in my space with music or an audiobook and just starting to mess around usually works (the video/music/book helps me to stay put long enough to get into a groove with something. Maybe there's a time of day where you can trick yourself into going to your space without pressure, just to play a little bit, that will get things flowing.

I used to think I was only inspired to craft in the mornings but as long as I don't expect too much from myself right after lunch I have learned that I have another window of time between about 2 and 5 where I can get things done if I get my butt to my desk with something ready to work on.

I would say mid to late afternoon because that is when I most often get to craft. Also, the light in my room is amazing and inviting that time of day!

I usually get creative in the middle of the night and into the wee morning hours. Insomnia plays a part.

I am definitely the most inspired early in the day.

Afternoon I think. Even on weekends when I could craft in the morning I usually don’t. I am a morning person but I think my brain is on ‘work’ mode first thing then it’s on create mode.

Evenings or weekends. I find I'm most creative when I have nothing else I "have" to do so I can relax, put on my favorite tv show and just create.

Usually in the afternoon and early evening.

Morning, my mojo seems to leave me after lunch. Except at crops...then, I can scrap till bedtime, though the last layouts seem to get simpler and simpler.
