11. Use Caffeine (But Don’t Abuse It): Mathematician Paul Erdös used the last 25 years of his life to devote 19 hour days to the pursuit of higher math. To stay alert, he amped himself up with 10 to 20 milligrams of Benzedrine or Ritalin (along with strong espresso and caffeine tablets.) “A mathematician,” he said, “is a machine for turning coffee into theorems.”
11、喝咖啡（但不要喝得太多）：數學家保羅實德在過去的25年里，每天投入19個小時研究高等數學。為了保持清醒，他服用10—20毫克的苯丙胺或利他林（同時食用含有強力作用的咖啡喝咖啡因藥片）。“數學家，”他說，“就是一個將咖啡變成數學定理的機器。”
12. Blow Off Some Steam: King Otto, ruler of Bavaria from 1886 to 1913, shot a peasant every morning to start his day. Thankfully, his two advisors were kind-hearted: one gave the king a rifle filled with blanks, and the other dressed as a “peasant”, acting out death throes when he was “shot”. While shooting people is absolutely NOT okay, never underestimate the stress relief you can get from a few rounds of Call of Duty.
12、發泄抑制的情感：國王奧托，1886—1913年巴伐利亞的統治者，以射殺一名農仆來開始他的一天。幸好，他的兩個善良的顧問，一個給國王槍支，另一個扮作農仆假裝被國王射殺而死。盡管強殺人是絕對不可行的，但你永遠無法估量這帶給你帶來的壓力頓減的感受。
Conclusion 總結
These examples of the daily routines and productivity tricks of famous people may not be ideally suited for your busy lifestyle, but they are certainly worth keeping in mind the next time you are stuck on a project and need help powering through. And seriously, don’t pull a “King Otto”. That would not be cool.
名人的這些每日例行和增加工作效率的招數可能并不適合你忙碌的生活方式，但是你可以把這些記在心里，下次當你陷入工作項目的困境而需要力量使你度過難關時，這些都很有用。同時真誠希望你不要成為國王奧托，這并不很酷。
