How organised were the lives of famous writers, psychotherapists and philosophers? Did they have any specific habits or rituals? In this post, I’ll share some interesting facts about the day-to-day lives of famous writers, philosophers and psychotherapists.
A French existentialist philosopher, Simona de Beauvoir, was a hard-working person with a strict schedule. According to biographers, she worked every day and usually didn't have problems with writer’s block. Even if de Beauvoir had a few weeks off, she would feel bored soon thereafter, and would be in a hurry to return to work.
De Beauvoir also had an open relationship with the French playwright and novelist Jean-Paul Sartre from 1929 until his death in 1980. They were not only friends but also sexual partners. Moreover, their relationships were not traditional. Both of them had other lovers, but they agreed to share all the details about their romantic and sexual experiences with each other.
Thomas Wulf usually began writing around midnight and preferred to drink a lot of coffee and tea while he was working. Wulf also had a specific problem: he was quite tall, so he never could find a suitable chair or table for writing. After searching in vain, he decided to write while standing next to a refrigerator in his kitchen.
Patricia Hismith wrote in bed, surrounding herself with cigarettes, an ashtray, donuts, and a cup of coffee. She avoided anything related to discipline, and wanted to make writing as pleasurable as possible. She also had a habit of drinking some alcohol before she started writing. She was sure that a glass of gin helped her cope with her hyper-activeness, which she even regarded as even “excessive” sometimes. Later in life the writer developed a high tolerance to alcohol, so she would also keep a bottle of vodka near her bed. Hismith was drank every morning right after she woke up, and made a mark on the bottle to restrict her consumption of alcohol per day.
A Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard liked walking because it helped him to come up with new thoughts and ideas. He also liked drinking coffee and had a collection of 50 different cups. Kierkegaard and his secretary had a strange ritual: every morning, the secretary chose a new cup for Kierkegaard's morning coffee and announced his decision to the philosopher.
Just like Patricia Hismith, the French writer Voltaire also liked working in bed. Usually he read or dictated his new texts to one of his secretaries, who typically came to his house early in the morning. The best time for writing was, in Voltaire’s opinion, evenings and nights, so that was when he locked his bedroom and wrote alone. In general, Voltaire could work over 18 hours a day.
Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud was able to build a life devoted to work thanks to his wife Martha, who did all the housework. Martha ironed Sigmund’s handkerchiefs, folded his laundry, and even put toothpaste on his toothbrush. Nevertheless, he wasn’t a slacker either. Sigmund woke up every day about 7 in the morning and waited for his barber, who came to trim his beard every day. After shaving, the whole family had breakfast together. Sigmund wasn’t picky about food, and preferred traditional dishes, like roast beef or mashed potatoes. He genuinely enjoyed his meals and sometimes was so concentrated on food that guests felt uncomfortable as Sigmund could keep silent throughout the entire meal.
Besides tasty meals, Sigmund also loved walking and smoking. Usually he walked about an hour or more every day, and it was not a relaxed stroll, but rather a quick rush along the streets. He also enjoyed smoking very much. Once, his nephew refused to give him a cigar, so Sigmund responded that smoking is both the cheapest and the most pleasurable activity in the world, so if his nephew did not try it, he would miss out. In general, Freud could smoke over 20 cigars a day despite his doctors’ warnings and worsening health problems.

Nice work! You write very well and there are some fun facts in here. I chuckled at the one about the secretary choosing and announcing a coffee cup.
