When’s the Best Time of Day to Write Well? [Infographic]

You could be making more mistakes in your writing depending on whether you're an early bird or a night owl.

When it comes to our productivity and creativity some of us thrive in the sun while others burn the midnight oil. But have you ever wondered if the time of day affects your accuracy?

The folks over at Grammarly did, so they analyzed over one billion words proofread by their app and summed up their findings in this helpful infographic.

They found that overall, early birds make fewer mistakes than night owls. Other insights include:
