Ever wonder how great writers structure their days? This book answers that, again and again.
Daily Rituals, by Mason Currey, collects the working habits of 161 famous artists. Each entry runs short. You learn when they woke and how they worked. You learn what odd habits kept them going.
Some rose before dawn. Others wrote deep into the night, fuelled by coffee and stubbornness. Beethoven counted exactly 60 coffee beans for his morning cup.

That is the lesson I carry from it. Find the shape that fits your life, then guard it.
If you crave routine, or fear you have the wrong one, read this. It will settle you.
