Definitely false. In fact, I think it's just as false as what my mother told me when I was a teenager that nothing good happens after midnight :)

That is a false statement.

What happens at 6 am determines the outcome at 3 PM.

Nothing good happens after 1 am is a true statement.

I feel much more productive in the mornings. I think more happens than after lunch when many are taking a siesta.

I learned this early in my career, back in the mid 80's. At the time I was a mortgage banker when the term meant something. The point was most major decisions are made after the 12pm mark. If you read the replies most are referring to prep work before the noon hour.

For me after 12pm still seems to stand true even to this day.

It seems to me that we get much more accomplished in the morning. So, not sure where you are getting that idea from (well unless you figure that there are 4 productive hrs in morning (8-non) and more in afternoon/evening (12-7 or 8)

I get more done in the morning than any other part of the day. Afternoons can get hectic and run out of time. When it comes to those processing mortgages, they seem to wait until afternoon to anything than leave to go home and do it again the next day as we wait. SO far there is no explanation that is better why it takes so long to process and why they ask for the same thing you gave them 4 times.
