The answer is almost always personal support / personal assistants. There are for sure ways to increase your own personal productivity on its own, but the extra kick is usually from in-house cooks, cleaners, shoppers, schedulers, stylists, PAs, etc. These people may or may not be spouses, family, friends and so on. (This is a general response, I do not know Simon Willison or any of his work or life.)

I wish I had a personal staff like that! We do have a couple of hours of cleaning help once a week but other than that my partner and I split the chores.

Thank you for replying! In retrospect I would like to have framed my comment less like I was speaking on your behalf, sorry about that.

If by some chance you haven't stumbled upon Montaigne, I'd encourage you to try.

I’d like to hear more. What made you connect the two?

Written by guys in leisure, both successful in their primary vocations, not falling in any stoic traps. Something like that.(Separated by couple hundred years, oh well.)
