Daily Rituals: Benjamin Franklin

I’ve been gifted a book by a grateful reader (thank you, Madam) on the daily rituals of writers, artists, architects and other thinkers and creators.  It’s fascinating. “161 inspired—and inspiring—minds … who describe how they subtly manoeuvre the many (self-inflicted) obstacles and (self-imposed?) daily rituals to get done the  work they love to do [or have to do], whether by waking early or staying up late; whether by self-medicating with doughnuts or or bathing, drinking vast quantities of coffee, or taking long daily walks.”

And then there’s Benjamin Franklin…
