There’s nothing quite as rejuvenating as a shower. It can be the thing that changes your entire outlook on the day. You may be feeling sluggish, unmotivated, and generally icky. Take a good scrub under the old shower head, put on some clean clothes, and I guarantee your life will look at least marginally more rosy. It’s like hitting the reset button on your day. I understand why, for this reason, a lot of folks shower in the morning. It theoretically sets you up for a good day, getting the reset out of the way first thing. 

I, however, am a proponent of the midday, or after-work shower for the same reason. Some of the day has passed you by. Maybe you started with energy and it slowly depleted after lunch. But hop in the shower at around 5 pm, and boom. You have a new lease on life and the day isn’t even over yet. Heck, maybe you’ll go out on the town. Anything can happen. You’re clean.
