Do You Have a CEO’s Work Habits?
Plucked this from Yahoo News . . . Jim Citrin sent surveys to 20 CEOs about their early morning routines and posted an article detailing his survey results.
Of the 20, seventeen responded. The results? Successful people get up early. (But you knew that from grade school, right? “Early to bed and early to rise” and all that.)
Most CEOs are up before 6:00 AM — a time which places me in good company. I’m up at 5:00 and usually spend a good hour tackling email before hopping in the shower.
Other early morning habits? Reading the news, exercising, and eating breakfast with family. I also do all three — except my exercise consists of walking the dogs. Nothing like a good walk in frigid weather to get the brain cells firing.
One habit I didn’t see? Planning your work day. I dive right into work each day because I make my to-do list the night before.
What are your early morning habits?
