Franz Kafka, frustrated with his living quarters and day job, wrote in a letter to Felice Bauer in 1912, “time is short, my strength is limited, the office is a horror, the apartment is noisy, and if a pleasant, straightforward life is not possible then one must try to wriggle through by subtle maneuvers.”
Kafka is one of 161 inspired—and inspiring—minds, among them, novelists, poets, playwrights, painters, philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians, who describe how they subtly maneuver the many (self-inflicted) obstacles and (self-imposed) daily rituals to get done the work they love to do, whether by waking early or staying up late; whether by self-medicating with doughnuts or bathing, drinking vast quantities of coffee, or taking long daily walks. Thomas Wolfe wrote standing up in the kitchen, the top of the refrigerator as his desk, dreamily fondling his “male configurations”. . . Jean-Paul Sartre chewed on Corydrane tablets (a mix of amphetamine and aspirin), ingesting ten times the recommended dose each day . . . Descartes liked to linger in bed, his mind wandering in sleep through woods, gardens, and enchanted palaces where he experienced “every pleasure imaginable.”
Here are: Anthony Trollope, who demanded of himself that each morning he write three thousand words (250 words every fifteen minutes for three hours) before going off to his job at the postal service, which he kept for thirty-three years during the writing of more than two dozen books . . . Karl Marx . . . Woody Allen . . . Agatha Christie . . . George Balanchine, who did most of his work while ironing . . . Leo Tolstoy . . . Charles Dickens . . . Pablo Picasso . . . George Gershwin, who, said his brother Ira, worked for twelve hours a day from late morning to midnight, composing at the piano in pajamas, bathrobe, and slippers . . .
Here also are the daily rituals of Charles Darwin, Andy Warhol, John Updike, Twyla Tharp, Benjamin Franklin, William Faulkner, Jane Austen, Anne Rice, and Igor Stravinsky (he was never able to compose unless he was sure no one could hear him and, when blocked, stood on his head to “clear the brain”).
Brilliantly compiled and edited, and filled with detail and anecdote, Daily Rituals is irresistible, addictive, magically inspiring.

一年半以来,几乎每个周一到周五的早上,我都五点半起床,刷牙,备上一杯咖啡,坐下来写作,写过去四百年来的一些天才人物所面对的同一要务——那就是,他们每天怎么分配时间,如何安排作息,以保持创造力和生产力。借着描写这些人物日常生活平凡的细节——他们什么时间睡觉、...
评分 评分读一半后感:《创作者的日常生活》 我想,“表达欲”是存在的。就是突如其来,你会想说点什么。 今年以来,我厌恶表达。我讨厌说话(无论是当面还是电话),我讨厌见人。我生活得像隐士。若干年前,我被迫当过隐士。现在,在同龄人的陪伴中,我自觉扮演这个角色。鲁迅在《...
评分本来以为会是一本励志书籍,结果发现一个个作家不是靠喝酒就是靠吸烟吸大麻汲取创作源泉?!!臣妾做不到啊! 本来以为伟人们的生活习惯一定都特别规矩,早起早睡,结果还不是有好些人每天睡很晚一样搞创作。 好吧的确大多数人是早起创作的。。但也不是全部啊啊亲! 恩好像散步...
