They say that Dostoyevsky wouldn't write unless he was in dire financial circumstances. That forced him to write. Moreover, when he received his pay, he immediately intentionally went to a casino and gambled away everything. It may look like an example which no one should follow (and no one should indeed), but there is a great deal of insight in it. We are most effective when we are, for instance, put on a deadline or under other strenuous conditions (within reasonable limits) and should exert a certain amount of effort to reach our goals
I read this cool info after I read further about his case, He is a weird of a kind of writer because using his adrenaline rush to improve his work performance although this not new on writer nature. We all know many writer that doing crazy things just to have an inspiration
This is called the writer's block
But we don't know the whole story, and it probably wasn't as grave and dangerous as it is pictured in the literature. He likely had enough regular income from sources other than writing to provide for sustenance that he couldn't waste right away. He certainly had friends and a lot of followers who could easily help him out if he was really desperate in terms of livelihood. Nikola Tesla might be one such example
That's right, you have to be Dostoevsky to afford that kind of recklessness. Definitely not not a behaviour pattern for us regular folks. I wouldn't suggest to anyone to gamble away all they have in order to improve their productivity.
In our country Philippines all husband and wife vowed to love each other for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. But I know that there is also a law that separates your funds or property from your husband or wife and that law legally states that you do not have any right on your partner's property or heritage. And that agreement will be signed before the marriage.
