Daily reminder you don't have what it takes

>either don't sleep at all, or sleep 11 hours a day because of medication

I can't really see this working for me.

How do all these old fucks only sleep for

How many words per page is that?

I once wrote 600k on one subject, during a particularly active 6-month period.

~350. Unfortunately, I only take meds and write like that when it's for uni - I feel dishonest doing that in spare time for my leisure.

But the fact that my paper on bargaining theory is 15k words (done in four days) while a short story I've been writing for a month is 8k.

>old fucks

You sound sick. I function all the time on ~6 hours with 8-9 on weekends. Sometimes it dips down to ~4.

>Balzac doesn't eat or leave the house
Living the dream.

How can anyone achieve this without being independently wealthy?

I left bed at 6:30 today, coming 27 hours short of my personal record for staying in bed while not ill.

>very fast Sigmund Freud walking at incredible high speed

>implying any of this is possible now

Most of us wagecuck for 8-10 hours leaving us too exhausted to do much else during our free time that requires physical or mental effort.

>Tfw will never go on super fast walks with Freud

>not treating reading as work

are you stupid?

>With daily dose of benzedrine for concentration

I finally see what separates the laymen from the greats.

OP sounds like a know-nothing, and a faggot besides.

Different people have different routines, different rhythms and different methods.

>tfw you will never play backgammon with emma

I'm on that Mozart shit except I don't work every day

Oh, and instead of "courting Constanze" it's "Stalk ex on social media and send her threatening emails"

you're not funny. dude

I wasn't joking though?

I spend 5-7 hours reading a day, still only 100 pages a day though. I'll outread them one day.

None of them had a dayjob. Thanks for reminding us that working class can never be writers.
>mfw when never in his life did Descartes wake up before eleven
>mfw I can never life off family allowances to devote time to leisure activities

Mozart and Kant had day jobs.

are you retawdid?

Faulkner and DeLillo did

I've probably gone through more books then you in the last few months bub.

Related to the field in which they became proficient. Something on the likes of Bukowski would be more interesting, were it not for the fact that he was a terrible writer liked only by stupid people thabks to his stupidly accesible level of writing and the low-brow content of his shittings.

How many since January, u fag? Let's measure cocks.

If you can't get work at all related to your passion, you're probably not very talented in the first place.

Kafka worked.
He did have a shit life though.

no thnx, i won't do cock, I do 100 pages a day on average and hardly ever miss it, so just think bout that, cuz u might read lots of tiny books to look bigger then the rest of us.

I read some big books though m8 from time to time.

Hah, you can't throw down the gauntlet, insulting my honor and then try to hide nigga, drop the fucking list. Don't you dare talk about tiny things m8

This is literally me. And this is me when I use coffee as a crutch, which is maybe the reason why

>walked around Vienna's Ringstrasse at TERRIFIC SPEED

those routines made them great because they build them on their own for themselves.

>wake

thats all you need. thank me later.

ROLLING AROUND AT TERRIFIC SPEED

Same. I must sleep 10 hours minimum

But at the same time, i bike around 300k a week.

> the most strenuous exercise is calisthenics

Surprised that they managed to sleep for so long (except Freud, but then again he had a cocaine habit). I guess they didn't have to deal with wagecuckery

Tfw you will never be gaskun huddled over a small heater of a snow covered fuel shack making the finishing touches on a space opera spanning 4K pages that started a decade ago

>Tfw you will never be Darwin
>Tfw you will never start your days with brisk morning walks across the grounds of your country house
>Tfw you will never spend your afternoons reading newspapers and napping contentedly
>Tfw you will never spend the intermittances between work with your loving wife, reading and playing games
>Tfw you will never leisurely put together a book that will change the course of human thought from the peace and comfort of your secluded home
>Tfw you will never live the life of a gentleman scholar, having traveled the world and marveled at all its complexities, and come home to a life of learning and meditation
>Tfw you will never know comfort of this degree

Lit I don't think I can take it much longer.

read darwin's diary when he was on the Beagle it's comfier than comfy

Jesus fucking Christ just kill me now.

>you will never explore the world and marvel at amazing tropical sights and creatures, and then retire into comfortable routine and the arms of your beautiful wife and loyal dog

We have to wait till retirement.

Then we too can be old fucks who sleep 5 hours a day and have nothing but free time.

The key is to live an aesthetic life. The personal aesthetic. The key is being able to say that you've done these things, because you live by an imaginal ideal. That's really all it is.
If I wanted to be a druid, I'd spend most of my time outside in the woods, observing animals, listening to the bird songs and attempting to learn their melodies, read books on botany and such, then retire to my home and indulge in a vegan diet.

Aesthetic. There's room for variation as per personality and disposition, but the aesthetic determines what kind of person you are.

Relentlessly pursue your aesthetic ideal Veeky Forums, and revel in the act of becoming.

>That Kant schedule
How can one man be so based?

Older people require less sleep than younger people.

I just don't understand, Veeky Forums.

Sitting down to write feels like a chore, even though I can get caught up and spend a while doing it.

Do I just lack the God-given drive that propels people to brilliance?

Yup. Go collect pokemons.

Any books for this?

>Sigmind
Freud was a genius phoneposter kun.

Kant was the most based on the chart. Only thing I disagree with is 1 meal per day.

Does anyone have that pic of kant hegel and descartes with sunglasses on? My HD got wiped and search just comes up with terrible sizes.

>average of 12 hours of work and 6 hours of sleep
why is this hard again? This is what most people do

It's a routine, when you start sleeping less your body eventually gets used to it even though it is unhealthy in the long run

>Related to the field in which they became proficient.
Which doesn't make it a day job....why? Just because a job doesn't suck and furthers your career doesn't make it not a job.

Depends on the job. Jobs that require intensive critical thinking tend to drain a worker in a shorter period of time than, say, a factory assembly position.

This is basically made up shit.

true, but if you love your line of work it is more bearable

underrated post

reevaluate your life

i have the best of them all routines

REMEMBER

They all had good money so they didn't need to work that much to make ends meet.

If you want that kind of routine, get rich

I only work 6 hours a day and I still have a hard time doing everything I want to do. Writing seems like it would really consume your life if you had talent, money, and ambition

I like you. You're my friend now.

good posts

Pretty good life desu

YAK YAK YAK YAK YAK

I'm a me me boy and do nothing with my life. But i will definitely become the next big thing in literature.

>tfw competitive and manage to outpace Freud
>tfw no more super fast walk invites

This is a quality post, thank you.

Your life is literally the plot of Office Space.

>plan on going to bed early to get my 7-8 hours of sleep
>end up sleeping only 4 hours
>drink a moderately large amount of coffee the next morning

>hyped AS FUCK the entire day, almost manic, productive, able to do my exercising with ease, communicate with others more easily and successfully

God bless that magical potion t b h

4-6 hours of writing a day is manageable if you're a NEET. Though you should be ok with at least two of those hours being wasted on staring off into space after every couple of sentences and taking months to finish one thing even if you have a fairly consistent schedule and output.

Why would you want to be that fag?

>Book written for 12 year olds. Repetitive, over the top, predictable, and the hero wins all (even the holographic girl (?)) - except where intelligence is necessary. How can you come up with the idea of an IPO and then not read the details? Confidence is fine but in this case, it is stupidity. At the end I only read every second page, just to finish it. I believe that one should show respect for the effort to write a book but not every time it is worthwhile to spend the time reading it.

Sounds about right.

>Bee Movie

at least....

>terrific speed

>all those tools making themselves into more efficient desiring/producing machines for the service of capital and natalism under the guise of "creativity"

spooky

>reads deleuze and guattari once
u don't know what you're talking about my dude

except I do

I hear this a lot and it seems silly...I have a day job and still have time to write.

>Get up at 7am, shower and breakfast and shit
>Leave for work at 8
>get back from work at 6
>Cook, clean, shower and shit until 8
>shitpost and slide boards until 9
>Can do whatever else from 9 until I go to sleep, usually around midnight

I mean I guess I don't have kids or other responsibilities to take care of which I'm fortunate for, but I do have significant time to be creative. If I cut back on the shitposting and time wasting I could scroung another hour out during the week, and none of this even takes into account the weekend, where I can do whatever I want so long as I get the laundry done.

>struggling so much with reading that you count it as 'work'

I so, so want every detail of this post to be true. You're a renovated Ignatius J. Reilly. I am convinced that anything you do happen to write will be a major, representative work of the era.

>Milton spent 4 hours a day pacing back and forth in his garden
The absolute madman.
