Good Time Management

What makes a genius a genius?
天才是怎么炼成的?

According to these graphics, it's good time management.
看看下面的作息时间表你就明白了:是良好的时间管理。

From Mozart to Freud and Darwin to Dickens, the waking, working and, in some cases, procrastinating of history's greatest minds are laid out for scrutiny.
从莫扎特到弗洛伊德、达尔文到狄更斯等大师,他们的起床、工作和偶尔拖延的作息时间表整理出炉了,发布出来供大家查看。

From Balzac drinking 50 cups of black coffee a day, to Milton spending hours memorising the Bible, the results are not always as you would expect. The variation is also surprising, from Freud's 13 hours of work a day to Mozart's four, there is not, alas, a simple recipe for success.
大师们的作息时间表可能和你想象的有所不同:巴尔扎克每天要喝50杯咖啡,弥尔顿要花好几个小时背诵圣经。伟人们在作息安排上风格各异、令人惊奇,弗洛伊德每天要工作13个小时,而莫扎特只工作4小时。哎,可就是没有成功的捷径啊!
