Franz Kafka, one of 161 inspiring heroes from Mason Curry’s "Daily Rituals: How Artists Work", wrote 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 manoeuvres.”
There are only 24 hours a day. Seems not for our heroes
They managed to do much more for their lives than ordinary people for some reason. Either they had one more hour in their sleeve, or they knew how to manage the twenty-four allotted.

You. This moment
People tend to simplify complex and ambiguous novels and turn them into short and understandable stories.
After reviewing the schedule of a few famous people, you could see that some preferred to spend 12 hours a day with friends and family, while others happily spent 12 hours working. Some tend to work at night, while others worked at dawn. Despite the completely different daily routines and habits, each of these people undoubtedly managed to do a lot in their life and achieved impressive results.
Create your own productive schedules and habits, and WEEEK is sure to help you with that.
