The 9am Barbell Strategy

The 9am theory says that the more consistent we are putting in moderate work every day, the more productive will be. Naseem Nicholas Taleb calls this a barbell strategy because the graph looks like a weight and he likes weights again on the sub stack newsletter. If productivity is by modal with distinct periods of sprints and rests, then the main time to sprint would be when you're on a hot streak. Whether hot streaks are actually a thing has been a long running debate in the behavioral sciences.
