Atelier Doré

Oh, how I wish to have a concrete schedule, and oh, how I’d dread to see my current routine mapped out like this. It has sort of gone like this: wake up, spend a couple of hours on the internet, do my make up, go to the library, pretend to be working, go to the cafe and pretend to work there, while being on the internet and stressing about not following my plan that I have made the day before.

Now that I think about it, I WILL map out my current routine, look at it, and break my bad habits. It will be painful and useful. Thank you for the inspiration!

Night-Owls and Early-Larks actually have slight structural differences in the brain. One downside of being a Night-Owl is a greater risk of depression. Shifting your sleep schedule to be more of a early riser can really help anyone who has more than the ‘blues’.

Don’t worry, being a Night-Owl isn’t all bad. They say Night-Owls can better maintain focus throughout the day.

PS: If you are looking at computer screens late at night check out f.lux. It’s a free software that automatically adjusts your screen at sunset to reduce blue light. Blue light is AWFUL for sleep.

A night owl definetly! In the morning I’m rather awful but late in the evening do lots of things! Lately running a blog, following Yours and doing some housework I haven’t done during the whole day!

I’d better not do my schedule -it’d be too devastating; ) lol

The book that it is based on is definitely worth a read! It is so interesting to find out the weird and wonderful ways people work and other little peculiarities about their day.

I think that sometimes you mostly need luck to succeed. At the same time – no luck will find you if you don’t put yourself out there.

I was thinking about that recently and I’ve come to a conclusion that the working/sleeping patterns are mostly dependent on our past habits. I’ve always considered myself to be a night owl, because at some stage (somewhere in high school) I started to go to bed really late (1-2 a.m.) and my natural cycle have changed so much that now I find myself more productive at night. Still, my mornings are usually awful and I have a headache. What’s more, I discovered that I don’t feel well-rested even after 9-10 hours of sleep. So I don’t think being a night owl works for me, even if it’s a lifestyle I’m used to. Recently I’ve decided to change things up a bit and gradually try to go to bed and wake up earlier. It’s been really hard, but the feeling that I’m getting more done during the day and have evenings for myself is awesome.
