As provided in [this excellent answer](https://writers.stackexchange.com/a/10789/10394) by @what, there is a certain 'creative time,' for writing, when you can write the best. I've been aware of this for awhile, though I never really saw it for what it was until recently.

Unfortunately (and I doubt that I'm alone), my creative time is taken up with a job. I have an hour or two at the end of the day, but by then I am tired and merely want to relax. On the few occasions I've tried writing at this time, what I've turned out has been in general weak. The only real time I have to write is on the weekends, and even then I usually feel more like relaxing from the week than writing.

**Is there a way I can _move_ my creative time to a more convenient time of day?** Switching jobs isn't really an option in my particular case.
