The best thing is to chant at the same time everyday. Best thing is to chant 16 rounds in one go- not break them up. The breaking up of rounds is not good- 4 here, 4 there, 6 and then the left overs- that's not the best. The best is to just stop everything and 16 rounds at one stretch. That's the best. Or a few rounds before mangal arati and the rest after, that's also best. Or all rounds before mangal arati- the very best! And the worst is those late night rounds...!
