INFOGRAPHICS: The daily routine of the great men

For all the people the number of hours in the day the same way.

However, if we look at the achievements of the best representatives of humanity - the great scientists, writers and artists, it seems that this is not true. During his life, they manage much more than others. Excellent education, several foreign languages, travel, huge creative heritage which descendants are no longer disassemble tens and even hundreds of years - as they all manage?

Perhaps the answer will prompt the recently published book Daily Rituals: How Artists Work, Which explores the daily life of the great men of the past. And we want you to imagine infographic from this publication, clearly representing the basic information on daily routine of Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Mozart, Victor Hugo, Charles Darwin, Benjamin Franklin others.

Of course, people's habits are changing throughout life, so infographic provides data only for certain period of time (indicated in the upper right corner), usually corresponding to the peak of creative activity and productivity. If the testimony of contemporaries and biographers remained mention of any unusual habit, that too was reflected. For example, Beethoven every morning drinking a cup of coffee, carefully counting exactly 60 grains.

You believe that your morning too stressful? Then take a look at Hugo, who was awakened by cannon shot from a nearby fort, and then drenched in ice water from the barrel. Or Balzac, who so loved the coffee, he drank up to 50 cups a day (we do not recommend that you use this as an example).

But see for yourself, it's really interesting.
