Early Birds should identify when they are the most alert during the day and complete their tasks at that time, thereby creating an optimal “flowtime” for themselves and their work.
They should also learn to integrate flexibility and cushion time (i.e., extra time) into their time-management strategies to accommodate any unexpected surprises.

They have a difficult time saying “no” to anyone who asks for help.
Their kindness and empathy are admirable, but sometimes putting others’ needs in front of their own can backfire and put them behind in their tasks and responsibilities.
Helpers should consider using block scheduling (that is, setting aside a specific chunk of time each week or each day) as a time-management tool to ensure that they give themselves enough time to complete their own work.
Helpers are dependable and loyal.
