Don't Let Science Come in the Way of Fun
Lately I have been playing Pickleball on a casual basis. Reason is that I needed an exercise that test my reaction. My playing partner and myself used to play in the evening. Due to scheduling reasons, he can only play in the morning.
For myself I prefer to play in the evening due to the benefits of stress relief, and better sleep. Playing in the morning also bring other benefits such as mood boasting and lower blood pressure. As I was contemplating whether to change the playing time, I realised that I got my priority wrong. I was having fun playing with my friend. I should prioritise fun over science.
Maybe playing pickleball in the evening may bring more benefits that I want, but having fun should be given the top vote. So, I choose to play in the morning.
