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）：数学家保罗实德在过去的25年里，每天投入19个小时研究高等数学。为了保持清醒，他服用10—20毫克的苯丙胺或利他林（同时食用含有强力作用的咖啡喝咖啡因药片）。“数学家，”他说，“就是一个将咖啡变成数学定理的机器。”
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、发泄抑制的情感：国王奥托，1886—1913年巴伐利亚的统治者，以射杀一名农仆来开始他的一天。幸好，他的两个善良的顾问，一个给国王枪支，另一个扮作农仆假装被国王射杀而死。尽管强杀人是绝对不可行的，但你永远无法估量这带给你带来的压力顿减的感受。
Conclusion 总结
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.
名人的这些每日例行和增加工作效率的招数可能并不适合你忙碌的生活方式，但是你可以把这些记在心里，下次当你陷入工作项目的困境而需要力量使你度过难关时，这些都很有用。同时真诚希望你不要成为国王奥托，这并不很酷。
