7.30am I’ll work straight through till lunch writing and working on my podcast. I find the first four or five hours I’m the most productive as the clutter of the day has not descended. If I’m writing a book, or have an important piece of work due, I set the alarm for 5am. I’ve never had one as I have an addictive personality anyway, so I think it would be a real curse. I don’t regret the crazy nights of partying till 4am drinking champagne.
