Probably the same sneak who told you I watch TV when everybody knows I do highbrow stuff like reading Plato, going to classical concerts and the theatre. I never have a nap and I can't imagine who told you I did. Sometimes I can work after lunch but most often I tend to do admin - both professional and domestic. So I go out, have a cup of tea, raid the supermarket, do the domestic things, have lunch, talk to friends and family - the stuff of life. On a virtuous day I'll have done between 3 and 4 hours work before 11 am, and by then I will be a bibbling idiot, incapable of reason and if I have one thought left in my head it would die of loneliness. And I treat emails like the post - I deal with them once a day and don't touch them otherwise. Thinking and working are best begun before the phone starts ringing.
