It’s said that “great minds think alike.” If that were true, all the creative people would be creating the same things.

Creatives achieve greatness by distinguishing themselves from others. This comes from thinking, and equally important, living differently. (If you doubt me, more than one aspiring tech entrepreneur copied Steve Jobs’ black turtleneck without duplicating his achievements.)

A post from Visual Capitalist summarizes research about how the daily routines of famous creatives (mostly artists and writers) differ in the time they committed to sleeping, eating, doing creative work, exercise etc.; in short, how they spent their day.

You may not have achieved the greatness that these icons enjoyed, but you do have one thing in common with them:  you have 24 hours in the day. 

What are you doing with your 24 hours? Daily Routines of Famous Creative People will show you what the greats did with theirs.
