How did the great geniuses of the world manage their time?

How did the great geniuses of the world adjust their time?

Most of us complain about lack of time and at the end of the night we realize that we haven’t done things or haven’t finished them completely. Now do you imagine how the geniuses of the world used to adjust their time? How do they balance their professional work and leisure time, or what would they possibly give up in order to get to their main job?
These are the questions we want to answer here.

Gustave Flaubert:
He was one of the most influential writers of the 19th century in France and one of the greatest novelists in the world. He worked on the novel Madame Boeri from 9 to 3 in the morning and then slept until 10 in the morning. He studied for 5 hours every day and spent time with his family.

Beethoven
The interesting things about him are: 8 hours of sleep a night – the importance of breakfast – the morning work that continued until two in the evening.
Another interesting thing was to set aside time for walking, it seems that ideas came to Beethoven’s mind regularly while walking, so he always had a pencil and paper with him.

Wolfgang Mozart
What is interesting about Mozart is that he slept only 5 hours a day and wrote his masterpiece music in two shifts, morning and night. Another notable thing is that she spent an hour every morning getting dressed and beautified!

Sigmund Freud
He slept six hours a night. He used to psychoanalyze his patients for 4 hours in the morning. He was engaged in this work for six hours in the evenings and studied and wrote articles for two and a half hours at the end of the night.

Immanuel Kant
He was among the most famous philosophers of the 18th century. Kant had an exceptional discipline in his life. He did all his work at his own time and did not violate it in the slightest. It was common among the people of his city that: you can set your watch with Kant’s works.
He slept between 10 pm and 5 am and started working from 6 am. His food and walks were done according to a special order.

Maya Angelou
This American poet and actor used to write in hotels and motels from early in the morning until 2 in the evening and spend the evening on his personal work.

Anore de Balzac
The work calendar of Balzac, the famous French novelist, is very different from the other greats we have examined so far. He used to sleep between 6 pm and one night. Then he wrote between one night and eight in the morning. He would take a nap for an hour and a half and then write again until 4 in the evening!

Victor Hugo
He would start his morning by reading his lover’s letters and eating two raw eggs, and around noon he would bathe in a tub of ice water! And he wrote between 6 and 8 at night.

Charles Dickens
Dickens also worked in the morning and in the evenings he did his personal work and spent time with his family and friends.

Charles Darwin 
Darwin slept between 12 midnight and 7 am. He used to walk first thing in the morning and eat breakfast alone. He worked until noon. In the evenings he would do most of his personal work and then between 10 and 12 at night, in bed, he would think about the questions that had arisen in his mind and try to solve them.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
