Have you ever wondered how some of the world's greatest authors and artists get anything done?
Whether they rise with the dawn chorus and head straight for their desks, or follow superstitious rituals before sitting down to make great work? Well, you can stop wondering and start reading – and be warned,
this site is short on visual excitement, high on manageable bursts of text – because dailyroutines combs through old interviews, books, and other resources to reveal the working habits of everyone from Charles Darwin to Will Self, Paul Auster to Gustave Flaubert. Here you'll learn that Auden viewed amphetamines as a labour-saving device, and that Le Corbusier began every day with a burst of gymnastics and painting.
