[Anonymous No.4804796]

My daily routine usually starts around 9 or 10am. I'll wake up, waste about an hour of time playing a video game or browsing 4chan, then I'll have breakfast and shower before the day truly begins.

The first matter is always a short hike through the woods, usually accompanied by a marijuana cigarette if I happen to have anything. I'll go out at least three times a day to smoke, once in the morning, once at night, and once in between. These are my "zen" moments. I spend my time on these trips enjoying my surroundings and contemplating life.

Besides these three ventures, however, my day is incredibly boring. I don't work, so instead I come back home and will find ways to waste my time instead. Usually it's with video games, but there's also reading, watching television, going into town to hang out with friends, and browsing 4chan.

Help me.

Are you me? The only real difference is my academic interests lean more towards literature/poetry and theology instead of philosophy. Also I was considering maybe the Dominican Order instead of the Jesuits.

I hated this image when I first saw it a year ago or thereabouts. There was a version of it which had more writers in it and also indicated the amount of writing each of the guys has done in his life. Tolstoy wrote this many books, and he did this and that every day (according to our sources) so it has to correlate somehow, the image seemed to imply. It was stupid. Prioritizing quantity makes no sense when it comes to art. E.g.: I'm seeing Japanese writers churning out two books a year and it makes me undervalue their dedication instead of admiring it as may seem proper at first. They are working because they view writing as a job to make ends meet. I can make no other explanation for what they're doing. They write not just fiction, they produce self-help books, hobby guides. Some of them also write for the screen, doing scripts for TV series, or they write songs, or even become part-time actors on stupid Japanese shows. The percentage of Western writers (the /lit/ canon writers, at any rate) doing this is way lower. S. Beckett springs to mind, he wrote for multiple media, yet I doubt he did it for the dough, or rather I hope not. He did give away his Nobel prize money, didn't he?

Going back to the original question, I've got no routine, this doesn't feel like a routine, though it probably is. It's more like a single infinitely stretched out day, since the walls between days have eroded, or toppled like domino succession, and I am now treading on a single connected zigzag of half-assed highs and lows. To make a halfway memorable metaphor of it all.

I usually stay awake throughout the night, sleep for a few hours from morning till noon, then go to college way before I should, so that I can gorge on something someplace before my classes start. I eat once a day, once and a half, since I sometimes buy two articles of food from the list of: bananas, oranges, yoghurt, potato chips, at a grocery on my way back to the dorm. In my room, I eat these and fall asleep, sleeping roughly 7-8 pm - 11-12 pm. I wake up and after an hour on the Internet I talk to the person I love and cherish and trust, I talk to her on Skype for a few hours. It's a singular source of amazement that I found such a someone at last, the no-friend-zone best friend - girlfriend holy combo that so many people here view as the ideal, me included. It may have been the only ideal concept ever worth nurturing and suffering through.

Details are omitted. I won't go into it all.
Having interchanged good-nights, I continue being on the internet, visiting a seldom-varying selection of websites. I proceed to reading a book or doing college homework if there is any or I do neither or both. Come morning, I sleep for a while or I don't.

Other things, I don't really go anywhere with people, though they seem to like me and view me favorably and though their feelings are mostly reciprocated. We'll just part ways in a while, so it might in a sense make sense not to befriend anyone ever for real.

What almost everyone here has in common is going on walks. Why is this? Are there any studies that demonstrate a correlation between creativity and walking? Any studies that suggest why?

I go to the gym often, but this image has inspired me to go on more solitary walks.

[Anonymous No.4810435]

>>4810422
Fresh air, monotonous activity for thinking, exposure to things less familiar than your desk.

I don't know of any studies though.

And when you go on these walks, do you listen to music? I ask this because listening or not listening to music on a walk would greatly alter the experience from a mere fresh exercise break to a fresh and reflective exercise moment. Or could be both, I don't know anymore. Just answer the question please.

[Anonymous No.4810530]

>>4810511
I don't. I like music, but I usually have to devote most of my attention to it. The walks are just for quiet reflection

[Anonymous No.4810532]

>>4810511
In my opinion it's better to not listen to music. The idea behind walks is to expose yourself to novel (or less-familiar things) and music is very familiar.

When I listen to music I have noticed I tend to fall into familiar patterns of thinking. But without it I just naturally stray from familiar ground, which has led to better ideas. Plus if you're walking among people you never know what bit of dialogue you might hear that'll inspire something.

>"All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking." - Friedrich Nietzsche

I took this advise to heart when I was depressed as fuck. It legitimately alters your mindset. Your brain chemistry changes or something. After that, I walked every night for two hours, between 11-1PM, and listened to history lectures.

I think it helps to avoid stagnation, frankly. I used to look forward to my walk so much because it guaranteed a certain underlying layer of novelty, exertion, bustle, etc., which causes new ideas and mindsets to pop up. The worst dead zones of my life were the periods where I wasn't able to go out and I turned the four walls of my room into a fucking prison that I developed a little further every day.
