The first 5 minutes of the day

I wrote about this before.   I think when I wake up in the morning I am temporarily slightly smarter.   I am able to connect things that didn't appear related, I am able to realize that there is a problem with something that I'm doing, I am able to find a solution.

However, when I try to implement the idea, I usually realize that it can't be used as is, things are more complicated and wouldn't actually work.

This brings me to the conclusion that the first 5 minutes of the day I am able to think without too many preconceptions, go back to the source of the problem, find the 'ideal solution.'   Then of course the ideal solution has to deal with the complexity of reality, but it still helps.
