Ooh I just replied to your homework journal saying something similar right before I saw this lol!! I think my hardest task will be lit solely because of the quantity of work. We have to do this booklet which i expected would just be short activities, but turns out it entails two essays, a PPT plus loads of questions :/ good luck on your lit homework, plus everything else!

Thanks so much Laura! It varies a lot, on school days I'm usually most productive in the mornings (haha writing entire English essays on the bus to school the morning before they're due...) and lose my ability to focus after 8pm ish, whereas these last few weeks I seem to be getting the most done around 10-11am and 9-10pm. What about you?

I'm generally most productive in the morning, but... I think it really depends on how well I sleep. ;D
