Are you more productive as an early riser or a night owl?
It’s a rare sight to see a CEO advocating for sleeping in. Tim Cook, the head of Apple, known for the iPhone, starts his day between 4am and 5am. Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, also rises early. Studies show that two-thirds of CEOs of major American companies are up by 6 o’clock, while less than one in three average Americans are awake at that time. The message is clear: if you want to succeed in the corporate world, you need to be an early bird.
Our friend Bartleby may not have CEO aspirations, but he has experienced the benefits of early mornings. Starting your day early allows you to clear your inbox, ponder over challenging issues, and feel prepared before the chaos of emails and meetings take over.
