I rediscovered this quote today:

“An artist must regulate his life.  Here, then, is the precise schedule of my daily activities:

I get up at 7:18 A.M.  I am inspired from 10:23 to 11:47.  I have lunch at 12:11 and leave the table to 12:14.

I ride on my horse for my health’s sake, at the rear of my estate, from 1:19 P.M. until 2:53.  Another bout of inspiration from 3:12 to 4:07.

Different occupations (fencing, reflection, immobility, visiting, contemplation, dexterity, swimming, etc.) from 4:21 to 6:47.

Dinner is served at 7:16 and over at 7:20.  Then come symphonic readings (aloud) from 8:09 until 9:59.

My bedtime is regularly at 10:37.  Every week I awaken with a start at 3:19 A.M. (Tuesdays).”

The guy that wrote these words, also composed this piece of music.

Erik Satie - Lent et douloureux from Trois Gymnopédies, 1888
