The Productive Advantage Of Building A Personal Sanctuary.

I’ve been re-researching how Charles Darwin and Winston Churchill got their work done. Both lived in a time before computers and instantaneous communications and yet were prolific in their output. Churchill wrote 37 books and countless articles and speeches. Charles Darwin wrote one of the most influential scientific books ever written and became the world’s expert on barnacles and worms. How did these people find the time to get their work done? The answer? Both had a highly structured life that followed <a href="https://www.carlpullein.com/blog/a-simple-way-to-make-your-days-effective/4/1/2023" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">a carefully curated daily routine</a>. Take Charles Darwin, for example. He would wake early and go out for a morning walk. He would begin work at 8:00 am and work until lunchtime. After lunch, he would respond to his letters, take his dog for a walk and take a nap before sitting down to a family dinner. After dinner, he would play card games with his wife before ending his day around 10:30 pm. Winston Churchill was a little unconventional. He would wake around 7:00 am and would read the newspapers. Afterwards, he would eat breakfast, dictate letters or revise a speech. All of this would be done from his bed. At 11:00 am, he would get up, get dressed, and walk before lunch. After lunch, he would work in his home office (study) until 3:30 pm, when he would nap for ninety minutes before having a bath and getting dressed for dinner. <a href="https://carl-pullein.medium.com/the-productive-advantage-of-building-a-personal-sanctuary-4a88730804e2">Learn More</a>
