Is it really that hard to believe someone would do it somewhat regularly? I certainly don't do it every day, but more often then not I'll do the same kind of things in the morning (wake up around 4 - 4:30am, meditate, exercise, shower / clean, ...). It's just basic habits

The part after the schedule is weird for sure, but the schedule itself sounds fine.

Maybe it sounds fine to you, but to me, a night owl, it sounds absolutely insane. I would go insane if I had to do this and I don't know if I would ever recover.

Meh, it's a night owl schedule from a different time zone.

It *is* insane to wake up at 4am if you go to bed anytime after 10PM.

I know some people will swear before god that they can function on little sleep, but the fact is that your decision making and judgement is seriously hampered by maintaining a long term sleep deficit.

That could be a plausible explanation by Holmes' defence for all her actions that got her in trouble in the first place! Personally, I find my own coworkers who lay claim to having such regiments are usually the smallest contributors in the team and mostly 'talk' too much and do too little.

[Freeboots]

different folks. They say Obama is a night owl, I doubt he was waking up at 4am, but i dont doubt he had a schedule none the less.

If Elizabeth Holmes did actually follow this schedule, then she wouldn't have to write it down. This is a wishlist. I actually do practice a similar schedule to this but I have never written it down anywhere. Writing it down and hoping you do it never works. This is the sort of thing you build naturally, piece-by-piece, and over time.

I'm the same. These habits are the foundation of my day. It's my choice to start with something I can control. Achieve some things, build some momentum before letting the world (news, emails - things I cant control) in.
