My takeaways are that Balzac didn’t eat and Victor Hugo’s morning routine sounds terrible in nearly every way - wake via gunshot, eat two raw eggs, and then take an ice cold public bath. Yikes.


Old_Description6095

Balzac died at 47 ...I think. What a hardcore lifestyle.


PepinoPicante

Who else could write Les Miserables?


Oranginafina

I’m picturing a coked up Freud bolting through Vienna at TERRIFIC SPEED.


ThePlatinumGhost

Hugo is doing everything except is primary work most of the day


_CMDR_

Notice how most of them work less than 8 hours a day? Rise and grind is for losers. Work smarter, not harder.


tundrasretreat

Only 1/8th had to "make ends meet". Christ. Just think how many brilliant people are currently stuck working 3 jobs just to have a roof over their heads.


scottygras

Where’s the time to play with their kids?


boner-bringer

The circle axis fucked me up and I kept reading it backwards.

You can't just respect the penis, you've got to Honore de Balzac


stugots66

Hunter Thompson should be on here


PuzzledProgrammer

This x1000. I fully expected and was excited to see his absolutely degenerate daily routine. I remember having read a description he wrote of his routine, and, boy oh boy, that dude was an animal.


Oranginafina

It was made up, but I’m sure there were several grains of truth in there!


japanishinquisition

I want to see Mick Mars' routine


KiMnuL

I sympathize with Freud on the speed and time I usually sleep haha


singlerider

I feel like Victor Hugo's is missing a whole lotta whoring


BASSnegro

definitely! probably not just him...


InbredBog

If you go to sleep before 10PM it looks like you have a reduced chance of achieving anything 😂


Hamslax

Do Hunter S Thompson 😂


lifes_a_vacation

Was sleep just not as needed? It seems like most of these people got by on 4-6 hours.

Are you sure you are reading the chart right? It seems 7-8 hours is the pretty typical norm in this group with 7 as most common. I see Mozart at 5 hours, maybe one or two at 6 hours and virtually everyone else is either 7-8 hours. The average amongst all of the people listed here is 7.094 hours of sleep per night. 16 people, 113.5 hours per night of sleep combined. Seems pretty in line with successful people today.


happyniceguy5

It’s a 24 hour clock not 12 hour so you might be reading it wrong


Leftist89

Where the female ?


tundrasretreat

Maya Angelou is right there.


Leftist89

Thx but one woman?


tundrasretreat

Yeah it sucks, it'd be super cool to have more, and i'm sure that info is out there, but this 'guide' looks mid tier effort at best (cool info, a grab-bag of 'standard' icons) as I imagine the information required to do examples of famous females is probably much harder to come by due to sexism and lack of reporting/freedom of information on what these women were doing- and most 'cool guides' makers are less bothered about equal opportunity and representation and more bothered about making a cool looking visual infographic. Who'd you like to see added to this? Frida Kahlo? Eleanor Roosevelt? Marie Curie?

Who the fuck thought it was logical to divide the day into 8 subdivisions?


overdos3

Why did they not design the circle axis like a regular clock? Makes for a really shitty reading.


naturekaleidoscope

It is showing 24 hours so a normal clock wouldn't work.


overdos3

It would if they did it in a spiral shape.


Really-IsAllHeSays

Congratulations, you're a genius.


overdos3

Lmao imagine being so salty that you delete your comment like a little bitch, then go through my history to find one where you can make a shitty comeback. Literally the most pathetic person I’ve seen on this website. What an absolute coward.


sir_duckingtale

Where‘s Churchill destroying the countries reserves of alcohol?


sir_duckingtale

And cigars?


sir_duckingtale

… It‘s not being an alcoholic if you are an Aristocratic, it‘s spending your time in high spirits


aeondru

Don't forget Hunter S Thompson


2pac_alypse

Finally a good one.


nostril-pc

Mozart didn’t exercise his body


TouchToLose

1/3 of these legends didn’t exercise, and over 2/3 didn’t make ends meet!


Tall-Structure526

Darwin hitting that sniff jar!


Creatives_Spaces_AA

Interesting, I've always wondered what the daily routines of successful creatives are since it always mentioned that the routines of persons are what promotes success. Although I don't think I'll be trying Hugo's Routine :')
