Align cognitively demanding analytical tasks with circadian peak arousal periods and insight tasks requiring broader association with circadian trough periods.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Ultradian and Circadian Cognitive Rhythms (cognition operates in ultradian and circadian cycles) and Human cognitive capacity varies predictably across the day… (cognitive capacity varies across the day in chronotype-dependent patterns). This prescribes task-time matching based on biological rhythms, following from axioms about cyclical cognitive capacity variation.
