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.

通勤讀物。內容讀多有雞湯感,當練英語瞭。考慮發展一下自己的daily rituals,比如每天起床後舉貓10下之類的。

《创作者的一天世界》, 作者是来自美国的Mason Currey (梅瑞·柯里)。其实这本书的题目第一时间让我想起李如一的专栏“一天世界”。不过两者完全不一样。 在这一本《创作者的一天世界》(英文名叫做Daily Rituals , 副标题是 How Artists Work)当中,作者收集了大约180位知...
評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...
評分我是个业余写作者,写作是我的爱好之一。每次静下心来写东西,如果能进入全身心沉浸其中的“心流”状态,就会物我两忘、浑然不觉身外之事,那种感觉畅快无比。写成了一篇文字,不管质量好坏,内心都会充盈着快乐。 但更多的时候是抓耳挠腮、绞尽脑汁,思路在某些地方被反复卡住...
評分在资本运作的社会中,越来越多的人不再想给别人打工,他们不再想看人脸色又曲意逢迎的被剥削,接受着被动又死板的工作时间约束,在提升自己能力和单纯耗费时间两者间绞尽脑汁的博弈。人们累了,可笑的回看自己在这由食物链顶端者制定规则的社会中,被迫自欺欺人的相信“奋斗即...
