Scott Adams: Daily Routine

The Dilbert creator has spent decades mastering the early morning — rising at 5am, flooding his brain with news, and drawing two strips before most people wake up.

Scott Adams, best known for creating the satirical office comic strip Dilbert, has been an immensely prolific artist over the past 30 years — his works have been published in 2,000 newspapers worldwide in 65 countries and 25 languages. He has also produced a series of books and an animated television series based on the strip.

A bulk of Adams’ work output starts and ends in the morning hours. Being an early riser, Adams wakes up at 5am, or even earlier on some days, although getting up early to work is nothing new to him.
