Morning
Choose morning when the activity is outside or includes children. Start at a time you have seen these people manage. Dawn, to make a point, is not a plan.
All comparisons
Everyday
Morning or evening
The hour is the decision. Propose the activity with a time attached, or you are ranking a mood.
Morning plans catch people before the day fills, and they lose anyone who is not a person until later. Evening plans catch people after work, and they lose anyone who is finished by eight. Neither group is being rude. They are reporting a clock.
If you keep proposing only the hour that suits you, you are not deciding together. Rank Saturday morning walk against Friday after dinner. Those are different plans.
Evening
Choose evening when people work days and the plan is food, a film, or a game. End when you said you would. An evening that drifts is how morning people stop saying yes.

Questions about this choice
What about Sunday afternoon?
Often the peace treaty. Add it if both ends of the day have failed you. It is a third option, not a failure of character.
Can we rotate the hour?
Yes. This week morning, next time evening. Write it down. Memory is a bad rota and it favours the person who talks more.
