We introduce a fascinating blog that reveals the routines of artists, writers, musicians, statesmen and filmmakers - including Mr. Truman Capote himself.

If you opt for a martini at 4pm or can't do a thing until after midnight - you're not alone. Daily routines is a wonderful blog that offers up the revealing routines of the great, the good and the bestsellers - including Karl Marx, Charles Dickens, John Grisham, Colette, Kafka, Haruki Murakami. Take for example the writer Truman Capote who describes his average work day and the one we'd perhaps most like to replicate...

"I'm a completely horizontal author. I can't think unless I'm lying down, either in bed or stretched on a couch and with a cigarette and coffee handy. I've got to be puffing and sipping. As the afternoon wears on, I shift from coffee to mint tea to sherry to martinis". Truman Capote

Divided in to sections depending on vice - the blog charts the unique lives of architects, artists, filmmakers, musicians & composers, philosophers, scientists & mathematicians, statesmen, writers.

If you're determined 2009 will be your year - this is the blog to follow. The accompanying martini is of course optional.
