Mason Currey's 2013 compendium — cataloguing the daily routines of 161 artists, writers, composers, scientists, and philosophers — revealing patterns in how creative people structure their working lives.
Creates the empirical study of creative routine — Daily Rituals documents that creative output is rarely produced in inspiration-driven bursts but in scheduled daily work sessions, often in the morning, with consistent ritual preparation; the book is the most-cited source for arguments about the role of routine in creative achievement.
No recorded contemporaries.
