So our first step in improving our outcomes is to train ourselves to identify the moments when judgment is called for in the first place, and pause to create space to think clearly. This training takes a lot of time and effort, because it involves counterbalancing our hardwired biological defaults evolved over many centuries. But mastery over the ordinary moments that make the future easier or harder is not only possible, it’s the critical ingredient to success and achieving your long-term goals.

**Timing**: align your sleep schedule with your natural **chronotype** (morning person, night owl, versus typical sleep-wake schedule). Chronotype is primarily determined by genetics, and yet your preferred sleep time will vary a bit across your lifespan. You can find your natural chronotype using the [Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ)](https://click.convertkit-mail4.com/92uwo67476snhqm8qexurc0vqr333bw/reh8hoh0kgz0k0c6/aHR0cHM6Ly9xeG1kLmNvbS9jYWxjdWxhdGUvY2FsY3VsYXRvcl84MjkvbW9ybmluZ25lc3MtZXZlbmluZ25lc3MtcXVlc3Rpb25uYWlyZS1tZXE=).

Time is the friend of someone who is properly positioned and the enemy of someone poorly positioned. When you are well positioned, there are many paths to victory. If you are poorly positioned, there may be only one. You can think of this a bit like playing *Tetris*. When you play well, you have many options for where to put the next piece. When you play poorly, you need just the right piece.
