Many people look to leaders like founders and CEOs for inspiration and guidance. One such figure is Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, who is widely admired for his routines. Recently, a video featuring Bezos discussing his morning habits went viral on social media.
In the video, Bezos revealed, “I go to bed early and wake up early. I enjoy spending my mornings puttering around. I read the newspaper, have coffee, and share breakfast with my children before they head to school. This quiet time in the morning is precious to me, which is why I schedule my first meeting for 10 am.”
He also emphasized the importance of scheduling high IQ meetings before lunch and transitioning day-to-day tasks by 5 pm to prepare for the next morning. Bezos highlighted the value of getting a full eight hours of sleep each night.
