The Morning Dr. Jekyll, The Evening Mr. Hyde

Imagine this…

It’s dawn, and the world feels like it is wrapped in a soft blanket of quiet.

You wake up feeling unstoppable - your Dr. Jekyll’s ready to conquer the world. Your mind, swirling with ideas, sketches out plans with ease. Tasks get checked off one by one, and that freshly brewed coffee ties everything together like a well-oiled machine. “It’s a great day for science”, you think.

But then, as the day wears on, something shifts. That focused energy? It starts to fade.

A familiar character shows up - Mr. Hide. The enthusiasm drains away, replaced by doubt. This guy questions everything.

“Am I doing enough?”

“Is this all worth it?”

Sound familiar?

It’s a tale as old as time - two sides of the same coin, battling for control.

We start our mornings with clarity and the best intentions, driven by our inner Jekyll. But as hours tick by, Hyde’s influence grows, pulling us into the shadows of our less productive selves.

Mornings are for action, evenings are for introspection. Finding balance between them is key.

So here’s a question to ponder: What if Hyde isn’t the enemy, but a necessary counterbalance? How might your days change if you embraced both sides?
