Do your work habits help make the most of your day?
Do they enable you to work highly efficiently so you can leave work and have a life?
Charles Dickens was not just one of the world’s greatest storytellers but also an innovator.
He published several of his novels in instalments to bring in much-needed funds.
He had to juggle many deadlines, delivering different chapters to various publications.
To meet those obligations, Dickens became an excellent manager of his time.
He followed the same schedule every working day.
His eldest son explains;
“No city clerk was ever more methodical or orderly than he; no humdrum, monotonous, conventional task could ever have been discharged with more punctuality or with more business-like regularity, than he gave to the work of his imagination and fancy.”
His days went like this.
He woke at 7am each morning, had breakfast at 8am and started work in his study at 9am.
He worked without stopping until 2pm.
Then it was lunch, followed by a three-hour walk around London.
Those walks inspired many of the characters and places he wrote about.
Dinner was at 6pm followed by time with family and friends until bedtime at 12pm.
His prolific and highly successful body of work came from this ability to dedicate focused time balanced with creative relaxation.
In today’s world of constant distractions, it might seem a hard act to follow.
But where’s there a will, there’s a way.
Start by turning off the WiFi or notifications for an hour or two a day to give yourself some focused time for the projects that are taking too long to complete.
You’ll be surprised at how this one thing improves your concentration.
