The quiet hour (Brahma Muhurta) is the traditional time for practice, just before sunrise.
क्रमान्यत्वं परिणामान्यत्वे हेतुः
kramānyatvaṁ pariṇāmānyatve hetuḥ
Different sequences are the cause of different transformations.

Unfolding the thread
The order in which changes happen makes the difference. Clay to powder to pot is different from clay to brick. The same holds for the mind: the sequence of our choices shapes who we become.

Look at the order of your morning. Change the sequence of one habit and notice its effect.
The Echo
The same truth, heard in another tradition
“A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.”
