Henry Miller wrote a great list of commandments for his working day back in the 30s: http://www.listsofnote.com/2012/01/henry-millers-11-commandm...

I've always found his structure far more useful than the usual 'list of maxims to follow every day' style most self-guides become.

His just seems more reflexive to his emotions. Like every day is a struggle against his natural state of being and this is how he keeps the scales in balance.

He talks more about his working day here too: http://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/4597/the-art-of-fic...
