# Ben Franklin&#8217;s Daily Schedule

Came across this today.

[![](https://www.mattwarren.co/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/3779169741_a1f678caea_z.jpg)](https://www.mattwarren.co/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/3779169741_a1f678caea_z.jpg)

The thing that struck me is

1. Ben and I go to sleep at the same time, but he got up 2 hours earlier in the morning than I do.
2. Two hour lunch breaks — good idea.
3. Time to plan and time to reflect each day.

I’m going to try to work this schedule for a few days and see how it works.
