Blue is sleeping, red is their creative work, green is their actual day job (if they have it), yellow is food/leisure time and blue is exercise. By comparing all these successful famous creative people's daily schedules, I have figured out how to become one of them: sleep early and quit your day job.


We've seen the daily schedule of our world's greatest minds before but this chart by Podio adds more famous people to the mix and makes a direct comparison to their hours spent. It seems like most of them are early risers and not too many enjoyed burning the midnight oil. And I'm pretty sure no one had an extra hour or anything.

Here's the chart with a legend key below. You can check out the interactive chart that specifies what each block was to each person here.
