Time saving tips from the 18th Century

Trying to escape this scorching, brutal summer here in France, to refresh ourselves let’s time travel into the 18th Century and see how some favourite french writers and artists of mine were managing and saving time in their daily life. The Philosopher and writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) teaches you to avoid time wasters, The painter Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun(1755-1842) knows how to deal with interruptions in her studio, The author of Les Liaisons Dangereuses Pierre Choderlos de Laclos (1742-1803) uses habit as a time saver and knows how to handle excuses for not having enough time..

Hope it will inspire you ! I come back with art pieces in progress this weekend
