14. Kate White

Kate White used to be the editor in chief at Cosmopolitan, and she made it work by burning the midnight oil. Despite waking up at 5:30 she swear staying up late to think is a great idea. “My craziest trick is that I regularly do my work standing up at a rolling butcher-block counter in my kitchen. If I were to work sitting down, I’d fall asleep. I know it sounds awful, but I think of it as if I’m tending bar in the evening — a bar of ideas. And I always keep the kitchen TV on so it doesn’t seem too lonely. I drink several espressos at night, which really helps.” Hmm, this flies in the face of what most experts would recommend, but to each their own.
