It is unusual to to say 'time of a day'. I can't recall ever having heard anyone say that. We normally say 'time of the day' or simply 'time of day' to refer to a time in general. If someone said "Morning is my favourite time of the day", this would mean mornings in general.

We only say "my favourite time of the day". You can even omit the article and just say "my favourite time of day is...". It's a set phrase. "e,g. In general, everyday morning is the person's favorite time." = e.g., in general, every day the morning is the person's favourite time"

Just to be clear, you cannot say "my favorite time of a lifetime" At least I hope not. And of course for your other questions, you don't need "of the xxx" My favorite day (of the week) is Monday. My favorite month (of the year) is January. My favorite season (of the year) is winter.

Like A day= any day, what is your favorite thing to do on A day. The day= of that specific day(monday, tuesday, wednesday..) specific

Thank you for your reply, Does the rule also apply other cases? Like: My favorite day of "THE" week/"THE" year/"THE" lifetime, instead of using "A" week/"A" year. My original thought is that using "A" means it could be a random day/week/year. "The" means the time is special. And after your help, I know there is a new usage.
