Confused About Your Chronotype? What to Do If You Get a Tie (Plus More Helpful Tips!)
If you’ve taken our chronotype quiz and found yourself with mixed results, don’t worry—you’re not alone!
Many people discover they don’t fit perfectly into just one chronotype category, and there’s a fascinating scientific reason for this.
While researchers have identified four distinct chronotypes, human biology rarely fits into neat boxes. Instead, our natural sleep-wake patterns often exist on a spectrum—with many people showing characteristics of multiple types.
So, let’s dive deeper into the world of chronotypes to help you understand what it means if you got a tie, how to work with mixed characteristics, and some surprising statistics about each type…
The Power of No: Why Saying It Can Transform Your Life
There was a time in my life when the word “no” felt like a betrayal. A letdown. A tiny rejection wrapped in guilt.
If someone needed help, I was there. If an extra project came up at work? Sure, I’d take it on. Invitations, favors, last-minute commitments—I said yes to it all. Because saying no? That felt… wrong.

Your Weekend Reset
Ready for a weekly reset? Try a few of these tips to unwind, connect, or get creative. We’ve got you covered to make the most of your downtime!
Take a Long Scenic Walk: No need to track steps or set a goal, just head outside and move. Notice the little things: the way the light hits the trees, the sound of your footsteps, the crispness of the air. Let your mind wander or just enjoy the quiet. If you need a soundtrack, throw on a podcast or an audiobook, but sometimes silence is the best reset.
Tackle One Small Home Project: You know that one thing you keep meaning to do but never get around to? Yeah, that one. Maybe it’s fixing a squeaky door, reorganizing a drawer that’s become a black hole, or finally hanging up that print you bought six months ago. It doesn’t have to be a big overhaul, just something small that makes your space feel better!
Do a One-Song Dance Break: Pick a song that gets you moving and let loose for a few minutes. You know that saying “dance like no one’s watching?” Now’s the time! Just you, the music, and whatever ridiculous full body cough dance moves that happen in the moment. It’s an instant energy shift, and honestly, life’s too short to take yourself too seriously.
Audiobook Recommendation: The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss - Forget the idea that success means grinding away at a 9-to-5. This book outlines strategies for working more efficiently, automating tasks, and creating more freedom in your life. Whether you’re looking to escape the corporate grind or just want more time for what actually matters, this one will make you look at productivity in a whole new way.
