How to Live on 24 Hours a Day
by Arnold Bennett
The 1908 essay: you have exactly twenty-four hours, you waste the ninety minutes a day that could be yours, and here is how to claim them for reading, thinking and living. It is witty, brief and the ancestor of every morning-routine book.
Read it if…
you want time advice from before time management existed.
Skip it if…
you want a system; it is a nudge.
Three things you will actually use
- You wake each day with twenty-four unspent hours.
- The evening is a day within a day.
- Begin small; the enemy is ambition.
Do this first
Claim one ninety-minute block, three evenings a week, for something that is not work or entertainment.
Our verdict
Witty, brief, 1908.
