각계 유명인사들의 Daily Routines 에 대한 사이트인데 지금은 더 이상 운영되지 않는 대신 책으로 나왔다.
종의 기원으로 알려진 찰스 다윈의 하루 일과. 아들인 프랜시스 다윈의 회상에 기초한 것인데 중년 이후 그는 이런 하루 일과를 지켜오면서 집에 손님이 왔을때조차 30분 이상의 대화를 나누는 법 없었다는데 일과에 차질이 생길까봐 라기 보다 손님과 대화를 나누는 일에 쉽게 피곤해졌기 때문이라고 한다.
[The following is from Francis Darwin's reminiscences of his father. It summarizes a typical day in Darwin's middle and later years, when he had developed a rigid routine that seldom changed, even when there were visitors in the house.]
| 7 a.m. | Rose and took a short walk. |
| 7:45 a.m. | Breakfast alone |
| 8–9:30 a.m. | Worked in his study; he considered this his best working time. |
| 9:30–10:30 a.m. | Went to drawing-room and read his letters, followed by reading aloud of family letters. |
10:30 a.m.–
12 or 12:15 p.m. | Returned to study, which period he considered the end of his working day. |
| 12 noon | Walk, starting with visit to greenhouse, then round the sandwalk, the number of times depending on his health, usually alone or with a dog. |
| 12:45 p.m. | Lunch with whole family, which was his main meal of the day. After lunch read The Times and answered his letters. |
| 3 p.m. | Rested in his bedroom on the sofa and smoked a cigarette, listened to a novel or other light literature read by ED [Emma Darwin, his wife]. |
| 4 p.m. | Walked, usually round sandwalk, sometimes farther afield and sometimes in company. |
| 4:30–5:30 p.m. | Worked in study, clearing up matters of the day. |
| 6 p.m. | Rested again in bedroom with ED reading aloud. |
| 7.30 p.m. | Light high tea while the family dined. In late years never stayed in the dining room with the men, but retired to the drawing-room with the ladies. If no guests were present, he played two games of backgammon with ED, usually followed by reading to himself, then ED played the piano, followed by reading aloud. |
| 10 p.m. | Left the drawing-room and usually in bed by 10:30, but slept badly. |
Even when guests were present, half an hour of conversation at a time was all that he could stand, because it exhausted him.
