In today’s world where hyper-productivity is championed and people aim to utilise every minute, Jeff Bezos sides with an unhurried morning. In a now-viral clip, the Amazon founder counts on the importance of having eight hours of sleep, followed by a slow morning. Jeff Bezos revealed that he follows the “early to bed and early to rise” mantra. He starts his day with a lot of “puttering” which includes enjoying coffee, reading the newspaper, and having breakfast with his kids before they leave for school. The billionaire added that he has his first meeting set for 10 am and makes sure that all “high IQ” meetings take place before lunch. He then wraps up his day by 5 pm, even if it means postponing important meetings to the next morning.
Jeff Bezos explained that high-ranking executives are charged with making small but important decisions throughout the day. Therefore it’s important for them to be in a good mood so that the quality of these major decisions is not impacted because one feels “grouchy” or “tired”. A popular X account shared this clip of Jeff Bezos on June 30, where it got over 3 million views.

Commenting on it, an X user wrote, “That “puttering” time is so important. Waking up early allows you to ease into the day instead of rushing out the door. It gives you an opportunity to get your mind/body/spirit ready to tackle the day. I love to be up early and just sit and ponder my day/life.”

Another person commented, “I don’t want to know his routine AS a billionaire. I want to know his routine BEFORE that made him a billionaire in the first place.”

An X user observed, “Once you are a billionaire, whatever you do becomes a trendsetter. People tend to listen and follow successful people. Plenty of not-so-successful people also must be doing the same routine but no one will follow them. SAD REALITY.’
