A friend of mine once passed along advice to me he got from a very prominent Washington super-lawyer: The only part of the day you have any control over is the morning.

It’s true. By the afternoon, events control you. And, by evening the demon rum does (just kidding, I’m all about the crack). I can get more done between 6:00 AM and 9:00 (not counting taking out Cosmo) than I can from say 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
