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."

Jeff Bezos reveals why sleeping 4 hours a day would make him a worse CEO, not a better one: "On sleep I get 8 hours of sleep. I prioritize it unless I'm traveling in different time zones. Sometimes it's impossible but I am very focused on it. I think better, I have more energy, my mood is better" "Think about it as a senior executive, what do you really get paid to do? You get paid to make a small number of high-quality decisions. Your job is not to make thousands of decisions every day" "Let's say that I slept 6 hours a day. Well, let's go really crazy and say I slept 4 hours a day. Now I just got four so-called productive hours back. If I was going to have 12 hours of productive time during any waking day, now all of a sudden I have 16 productive hours. So I have 33% more time to make decisions. If I was going to make a hundred decisions, now I can make 133 decisions" "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?" "It's different if it's a startup company. When Amazon was a hundred people it's a different story. But Amazon's not a startup company and all of our senior executives operate the same way I do. 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. Sometimes 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. I say thank you, but what I'm really thinking is that quarter was baked three years ago. Right now I'm working on a quarter that's going to reveal itself sometime in the future" "Why do I need to make a hundred decisions today? If I make three good decisions a day that's enough. And they should just be as high quality as I can make them. Warren Buffett says he's good if he makes three good decisions a year"
