Gantt charts, excel tables, burndown charts, kanban boards or something else?

I fall asleep pretty quickly, but when I wake up in the middle of the night it is usually some interaction that plays over again and again in my mind. Trying to deal with a manager or a stakeholder. Never charts. When I used to program I would wake up to an endless loop. I would run something and keep getting the same result.
Dinah that sounds like the Matrix :-)

Gantt charts, excel tables, burndown charts, OH MY!

Sure, sometimes I review the day or preview the next. Generally, an I&A of my actions overall. I tend to fall asleep very quickly, so on a couple minutes worth of thought.

Plus, scrolling through Imgur is a great way to end the day :)
I wish I could fall asleep fast like you and Dinah.

I remember reading somewhere that the average time it takes people to fall asleep is 7 minutes. I think I am right around that average usually.

Sante -

I do get some reports, Kannan boards, presentations but I would say it is very rare, while I have some major issues only. I usually read some good books / articles / listen to music before I go to sleep, so as to refresh my mind.

Sometimes I get some good ideas & solutions during my sleep, which had been helpful in next day's work.
Thanks Girija. Ideas borne out of sleep can be an unexpected treat.

7 minutes? wow. Try 2 hours for me, then light sleep for the next 3-4 hours, then get up. That's the story of my life. But then again, my philosophy is why sleep a third of your life? By the time we shuffle on, I may have lived (awake) many more years than most even if I drop earlier. Oh we are a morbid collection of atoms lol.
