Jeff Bezos on why he protects his mornings, his sleep, and his decision-making: Bezos is asked about his unusual routine. No meetings before 10 a.m., eight hours of sleep, no PowerPoints. He walks through the philosophy behind it. He starts with the morning: "I like to putter in the morning. I get up early. I go to bed early. I get up early. I like to putter in the mornings. I like to read the newspaper. I like to have coffee. I like to have breakfast with my kids before they go to school." That puttering time, he says, is non-negotiable. It's why his first meeting is at 10. And the timing of meetings isn't accidental either: "I like to do my high IQ meetings before lunch. Like anything that's going to be really mentally challenging, that's a 10 o'clock meeting. And because by 5:00 p.m. I'm like, I can't think about that today. Let's try this again tomorrow at 10:00 a.m." Then he gets to sleep. He prioritises eight hours, and frames it not as self-care but as a job requirement: "I think better. I have more energy. My mood is better… As a senior executive, what do you really get paid to do? 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. Is that really worth it if the quality of those decisions might be lower because you're tired or grouchy or any number of things?" Bezos is careful to note this isn't universal advice. A 100-person startup is a different story. But Amazon isn't a startup, and at his level the math changes, fewer decisions, higher stakes, longer time horizons. Which leads to the part of the philosophy that ties it all together. He doesn't think his executives should be focused on the current quarter at all: "They work in the future. They live in the future. None of the people who report to me should really be focused on the current quarter… We'll have a good quarterly conference call and Wall Street will like our quarterly results and people will stop me and say, 'Congratulations on your quarter,' and I say thank you. But what I'm really thinking is that quarter was baked 3 years ago. Right now I'm working on a quarter that's going to reveal itself in 2021 sometime." The whole system, the slow morning, the protected sleep, the morning-only hard meetings, the three-year horizon points at one thing: "If I make like three good decisions a day, that's enough."

"You know, I don't, I have not changed. I really make the movies for myself. I really, really do." Q: "For no one else, or just sort of like what you ultimately want to see in them?" "Yeah, I think so." Q: "As a fan yourself, too? "What I want to see, yeah, like as a, like, you only have the benchmark of yourself. Like, if you ever try and make a movie for someone other than yourself... I feel like you're going to blow it. "Because you can't, you don't know how anyone else is going to feel. So like, you know, you go, 'okay, do I find that emotionally real? Do I find that interesting? Is that the Krypton I want to go to? Is that the Superman I want to see fight?' "You know, those are the questions you ask yourself constantly. And I think once you, if you're constantly answering yes to that, then you'll end up the more, the film will end up being more interesting to you. "And ultimately, the film being interesting to you allows you to make the movie better because you're interested. "If you make it for someone else over a two-year period, you're just going to not give a sh*t at some point because you're just like, 'I don't care. This is not my movie. I don't care about this movie because I made it for someone else.'" Q: "I imagine that's a very hard thing to do in Hollywood, though, is to keep your vision clear with so much collaboration, with so much going on, with so many other people in the mix." "It really depends on the project. For instance, it was hard on Guardians, you know, where I feel like what ended up happening on that movie was people, we did end up, they did end up asking me like, 'this is for kids, right?' "And I got to honestly say that I knew it was for kids, but I didn't want to make it for kids. You know what I mean? And I think that's what happened to that movie. It did get like second guessed at the end and turned more into a movie for kids. "My point of view is I can think like a child if I want. I have that enthusiasm for movies and what I think is cool. You, the collective you, don't need to try and second guess me and go, 'this is what we think a kid would like.' "And then it's like, 'oh, a song' or whatever. Then you're just like, 'okay, whatever.'"
