This is billionaire Jeff Bezos’ daily routine and it sets him up for success

…....................(paragraph 1)

“I go to bed early, I get up early,” Bezos said at the event.

Other CEOs are known to wake up before the sun: Apple CEO Tim

Cook is awake at 3:45 a.m., while Ellevest CEO Sallie Krawcheck

and Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi are up by 4.

Once he’s up, Bezos takes some time for himself: “I like to putter in the mornings,” he said.

“I like to read the newspaper, I like to have coffee, I like to have breakfast with my kids

before they go to school,” Bezos explained. “My puttering time is very important to me.”

….........................(paragraph 3)

When Bezos is ready to turn to business, he devotes all of his focus to Amazon: “I set my

first meeting for 10 a.m.,” he explains.

The first meetings of the day are the ones that require the most brain power.

“I like to do my high IQ meetings before lunch, like anything that’s going to be really
mentally challenging, that’s a 10:00 a.m. meeting,” he says.

…...........................(paragraph 4)

At the end of the day, Bezos tries to avoid making decisions. “By 5:00 p.m., I’m like ‘I can’t

think about this today, let’s try that again tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.,’” Bezos says with a

laugh.

Making thoughtful choices often becomes harder and harder throughout the day due to

decision fatigue.

“Think about it, as a senior executive, what do you really get paid to do?” Bezos says. “As

a senior executive, you get paid to make a small number of high quality decisions. Your job

is not to make thousands of decisions every day.”
