Burning the midnight oil
So I’m again sitting up writing at midnight, wondering why it is that I find inspiration to work when it gets dark. While I don’t have the exact answer, I do think that having some quite time at night has something to do with it. There are fewer distractions, it’s quieter (except for the headphones blasting vintage Billy Idol
), and everyone is resting or asleep.
At any rate, I thought I’d just mention working into the night, wondering who else finds that some of their best work occurs after 10pm?

Hey Mike, thanks for stopping by! Guess I’m at it again. I agree, it’s probably because it’s the only time that the house is quite and there are no other distractions.
Have a great night!
I have never been a morning .. or even a day type person. I find most of my work is done between noon and somewhere around 2AM …. I have always been like that. thank goodness I havea wife who understands that and goes with the flow.
Hey, I was wondering if anyone here has a habit of coming up with cool business ideas out of nowhere, but never got around to attempting them.
Here are mine:
consumer generated power
household recycling plants
innovative ringtones (like fart ringtones for young people)
retail approach to recycling
carbon offsets by sms

I’m like you, often burning the midnight oil.
Part of the habit was formed in grad school when I would have to stay up late to finish school work.
Part of the habit was formed by a wife and 3 kids who required attention throughout the evening hours.
Part of it is, I think, my hard wiring.
Nighttime is when my mind begins to race and the thoughts won’t shut off.
Great question!
Keep creating,
Mike
