The life/work balance of Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule

I’m not sure about going to sleep at 10pm (I feel I’m mid-stride at that time) or waking up at 5am, but Benjamin Franklin did, and his achievements speak for themselves.

When you’re a person who works alone, and whose fortunes are completely dependent on your own day-to-day productivity, it can be very easy to fall into the trap of working all the time (particularly when your work requires you to operate on the Maker’s Schedule). Franklin’s plan is an inspiration to me because it reminds me why I went down the tough road of being an indie developer in the first place: to live a more balanced, reflective life.
