Early to bed and early to rise — we’ve all heard that maxim that promises to make us healthier, wealthier and wiser versions of ourselves. But what if one small tweak to that formula could make us significantly wealthier, to the tune of being as successful as the founder of the global behemoth, Amazon? In a recent video, Jeff Bezos spoke about his fondness for being an early riser, but also added that he enjoys ‘puttering’ in the morning, only taking his first meeting for the day at 10 am. His slow start has earned mixed reviews from viewers, with some saying that this essential ‘me-time’ gives people the ability to prepare their bodies and minds for the day that lies ahead, while some others have dismissed it as a waste of productive time.

Take it easy

Taylor Elizabeth, an emotional intelligence coach, points to the many merits of Bezos’s ways. “Taking time for yourself can result in improved clarity and focus, which makes your mind feel sharper and more attentive. This practice also helps to reduce stress levels, bringing a sense of calm that can be quite refreshing. With a clearer mind, your decision-making capabilities will improve, making it easier to choose the best course of action in various situations. Additionally, you’ll find that your creativity and problem-solving skills get a boost, making it easier to come up with innovative solutions to challenges,” she explains.
