Mornings
matter.
Successful
people tend to wake up early and start their days with a set routine that may
include exercise, meditation, emails, and big glasses of water.
Anthony
Hsieh, CEO and chairman of nonbank consumer mortgage lender loanDepot, starts
his mornings by waking up well before dawn.
He writes on
LinkedIn that he's often asked for his morning routine. He told his 11,000-plus
followers that his day begins well before dawn:
"445am
wake
"Read,
emails, news, misc work. General quiet time to think about the day until 6am.
"6am-640am
morning run.
"640am
wake kids and out the door by 725am with school drop off. In office by
815am."
"Even
when I travel, the first 1-2 hours of the day is still needed for me to warm up
and set up my thoughts for the day. Maybe I'm like an old car that just takes
time to properly warm up. I need a Tesla body and brain, just go."
Believe it
or not, Hsieh's pre-5 a.m. wake-up isn't the earliest on the books. PepsiCo CEO
Indra Nooyi, for instance, has said she starts her day at 4 a.m., and Apple CEO
Tim Cook beats that by another 15 minutes, waking up at 3:45 a.m.
