Popular Post Will 2,215 Posted August 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2021 Does anyone remember any of the interviews where JW has discussed his daily work schedule? Just curious. I remember this interview from 2019: https://www.jwfan.com/?p=12355 Quote Working takes up less time than it used to. He was once always at his piano for ten hours a day. Now it’s nearer five, starting at 10:30am and running through till early afternoon. “Then -and this sounds very bourgeois- after that I go to a golf course to walk for an hour. I go alone and I hit a ball once in a while.” He solves composition problems that way. “You walk and it occurs to you. Oxygen is a wonderful thing.” After lunch he returns to the piano and fixes unresolved things from the morning. But I feel like there were other articles where he talked about how he likes to schedule his work, when he goes for walks to clear his mind, how he works in solitude for much of the day, etc. I remember being very fascinated by his work flow (which is obviously very different from how most ordinary professionals in other industries work). crlbrg, Edmilson, Jay and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 887 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 He gets up at the same time every day and eats the same breakfast every day? That's madness!! He's also said he takes Sundays off, but that might just be when he doesn't have a deadline looming like a Star Wars score that requires millions of notes!

That's madness!! Well, not really. If you listen to the full interview he mentions that the breakfast consists of a half of a box of Count Chokula and two Krispy Kremes. This seems also to explain the regular two-hour nap he takes after breakfast. He skipped the breakfast once. By the end of the day he had begun and finished America, the Dream Goes On. eitam, Jay, Jurassic Shark and 10 others 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artguy360 1,839 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 That quote basically sums up all he has ever said about his work routine. Don Williams says the same thing except he mentions what drink JW drinks in the evening and he often plays the piano for leisure until bedtime.

Edmilson 7,259 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Where is this golf course JW likes to take a walk on? Why no one took a picture of him playing golf if this is something he does every day? Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has vaguely broached the subject in a few other interviews, but it basically boils down to what he said in that quote. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,443 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 If I was JW, I'd prefer to forget all about THE RISE OF SKYWALKER.
