    I was having a discussion about when I like to do things. So, I of course wondered who else is like me.
    Today's fast five is easy! Do you prefer to do each item in the morning, afternoon or evening?

    1. Exercise?
    2. Scrap?
    3. Errands?
    4. Grocery Shop?
    5. Scheduled Appointments? (Like doctor, teacher, tires, etc)

    I'm off to do some last minute errands this morning!

    1. Exercise? Evening
    2. Scrap? Anytime as long as I am in the mood
    3. Errands? Late morning/early afternoon
    4. Grocery Shop? Morning so I'm out of there by 11
    5. Scheduled Appointments? (Like doctor, teacher, tires, etc) Late morning/early afternoon

    Even though I'm awake by 7 every morning, it takes me awhile to get moving. So unless I absolutely have to be somewhere before 10, I don't usually do anything before 10. But I want to get all my appointments and errands done before 3 so that I don't run into the after work crowds at the store... and I avoid the grocery (or any chain store) on weekends. They are always busy with those that work during the week, why should I add time to their shopping when I can go during the week. Learned that from my dad. When he retired, he golfed every day... except weekends. All those years he worked, he could only golf on Sat/Sun and it was always crowded so when he retired, he chose to let those who still worked have the golf course on the weekend. And, it wasn't as crowded and the golfing went faster during the week :)

    3. Errands? am
    4. Grocery Shop? other people's dinner times 5-7pm

    1. Exercise? lol... um... I prefer AM but often times it's afternoon before I get to taking the dog for a walk! :)
    2. Scrap? Both- AM during school days, PM after kids are in bed other days
    3. Errands? AM for sure!
    4. Grocery Shop? AM- I wish costco opened earlier! We have gone to costco after dinnertime once & it was a ghost town... only problem with costco with the family is we spend WAY more $$! ;)
    5. Scheduled Appointments? (Like doctor, teacher, tires, etc) AM, although prefer either the 1st appt of the day or the 1st after lunch... less chances of them being behind that way! ;)

    1. Exercise? Either but when I'm working it almost has to be late afternoon
    2. Scrap? I prefer mornings
    3. Errands? Mornings
    4. Grocery Shop? Mornings, but doesn't always happen when I'm working
    5. Scheduled Appointments? (Like doctor, teacher, tires, etc) Definitely early morning for appts, before they get backed up and off schedule.

    1. Exercise? Morning
    2. Scrap? Anytime but usually only late at night on the weekends
    3. Errands? Morning but it's usually the late afternoon before I get to them.
    4. Grocery Shop? Morning but this usually happens late in the afternoon...along with my errands.
    5. Scheduled Appointments? (Like doctor, teacher, tires, etc) Morning...because I know if I'm schedule first I'll get in and out of there.

    Can you tell I'm a morning person! I would much rather get everything done earlier...and usually, it's less crowded. But with my crew and homeschooling and that being a priority I don't usually get out of the house until the majority of our school is done for the day.

    1. Exercise? Afternoon.
    2. Scrap? Any time, but evenings and late at night, I have no interruptions.
    3. Errands? Afternoon
    4. Grocery Shop? DH does this - lucky me, huh?
    5. Scheduled Appointments? (Like doctor, teacher, tires, etc) Afternoon.

    Do you see a pattern here? Afternoon, afternoon, afternoon. I am NOT a morning person. :lol:lol

    This would be for me in an ideal situation without sleep and fatigue issues

    1. Exercise? Never but it’s not really an option so evening
    2. Scrap? Anytime
    3. Errands? between 10am and 5pm
    4. Grocery Shop? whenever, it’s usually the last stop when I’m out
    5. Scheduled Appointments? (Like doctor, teacher, tires, etc) mid morning onwards. For my doctor I try and get the first one after lunch at 1pm so they aren’t running super late

    I’m not one either unless I’m being paid......which is precisely why my flights that I booked yesterday are for 4pm in the afternoon, my job interview is at 12.30pm etc

    1. Exercise? mostly after lunch but i try to start earlier in winter to help get the blood flowing
    2. Scrap? i can usually manage a slow page on the weekend and a few nights a week and usually once a week during the day i can get something scrapped faster when i'm not asked a bunch of things and just keep getting interrupted
    3. Errands? usually before school pickup or after drop off
    4. Grocery Shop? sighs - when i have to, which means 2 or 3 times a week just for bananas
    5. Scheduled Appointments? (Like doctor, teacher, tires, etc) morning - they're less likely to be running late for early appts

    Everything except for scrapping in the mornings! I like to get all my chores (exercise counts there) done first thing then I can play in the afternoon.

    I prefer to sleep in the mornings and do literally everything else later in the day if I can manage it. :giggle

    However, I haaaaaaaate being inefficient so on Mondays when I have to take the kids to school (but don't have to work), I will stop by the store on the way back to get groceries for the week & run any other errands so when I do get back to the house, I don't have to leave again until it's time to pick them up.

    3. Errands? Evenings and weekends
    4. Grocery Shop? Evenings and weekends
