The short answer: any chance you get.
Me? I do my best thinking/writing in the morning. But my life's too jammed/chaotic to be picky. So I just write whenever I can. After all, you need raw clay mold into a polished masterpiece. If you wait to be at your best mindset to write a story/poem/book, it'll take years (or never) to get done.
Just start writing and don't stop. Write at least a few paragraphs per day and make sure you're thinking ahead, so you don't paint yourself in a corner. It's amazing what such incremental efforts can yield.
Writing in short, exhausted bursts won't
yield me gems every time. But who
cares? In the morning I can polish/edit
it and figure out where to direct a plot.
Just remember: save everything you write. Even if it's a failed effort. It might be useful for something else down the road.

Hope this was of use.
The main key is not to stop.
If you stop, even for a day, you could lose the flow, get bored, and
waste time. Hope this helps.
