Are you a morning person or night owl. Most seem to prefer one time of day over the other. Georgia O'Keefe found the solitude for painting during the early hours of the morning:⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ "I like to get up when the dawn comes. The dogs start talking to me and I like to make a fire and maybe some tea and then sit in bed and watch the sun come up. The morning is the bedset time, there are no people around. My pleasant disposition likes the world with nobody in it."⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ William Faulkner also preferred the morning daylight. Known for his fast pace, Faulkner often wrote over three thousand words a day:⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ "He would wake early, eat breakfast, and write at his desk all morning. He liked to work in the library, and since the library door had no lock, he would remove the doornob and take it with him. After a noon lunch, he would continue repairs on the house and take a long walk or go horseback riding. In the evenings Faulkner and his wife would relax on the porch with a bottle of whiskey." ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ While a morning routine worked for some, it was inconceivable to others. Ann Beattie found that the night brings about her best work. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ "I really think that people's bodies are on different clocks. I even feel now like I just woke up and I've been awake for three or four hours. ANd I'll feel this way until seven o'clock tonight when I'll start to pick up and then by nine it will be O.K. to start writing. My favorite hours are from 12:00 to 3:00 A.M. for writing." ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ What time of day do you prefer for getting work done?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 📷: @ker_webb⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #carrytheday⁠⠀ #ShareYourISM #ISMSF #createdtocreate #designdetails #designmatters #meetthemaker #workhardanywhere #everydayessentials #designyourworkspace #simplefits #womanootd #whereiworktnchustler #creativeentrepreneur #mycreativebiz #onmydesk#livecreatively #deskstyling #workspacegoals #officegoals #bossbabes #fempreneur #hersuccess #societygal #Dreamersanddoers #createlounge #createyourhappy #seekinspirecreate
