In her words, "I'm a morning person I do well in the mornings, and so I tend to get up early in the morning and I use those few hours of the morning productively. I get up early, I have some reflection and meditation time, get ready for work and generally get to the office early."

What if you are not a morning person?
Don't worry, Google's Country Director has you covered too. Her advice is simple - use any opportunity to be more productive.

"So it's important to understand your patterns in that way. In your day to day life as well, make sure that you're able to leverage opportunities to be productive," Ehimuan concludes.
