Live Like The Most Creative People In History

Get up early? Walk around in the nude? Do you breakfast on opium and croissants? Then you are sharing the same creative habits of people like Hemingway, Franklin and Proust.

Hint: lunchtime martinis do not help productivity!

For the record, Benjamin Franklin sat nude in front of a window, in all weathers, for about 15 minutes. He called this his “air bath.” He traveled to Maryland and Virginia, and had extramarital sex there. He was accused of “illegal venery” and “keeping negro paramours” in 1764 and 1765. He is not known to have any children outside of marriage other than his first son, William.
