Steve Jobs And His Morning Routine, Guide To Be Successful   

They say that if you want to be successful, following the footsteps of those who have already made it is the easiest way to do it. And who doesn’t know Steve Jobs? He is a game-changer, and his influence has shaped the world. But have you ever wondered what Jobs did every morning? 

He is one of the most prominent icons in our generation. And we all know him as the eccentric leader of Apple. But how eccentric could he get? 

If you want to know what he did every morning, this is the right post. We have to warn you though, some of the things here can shock you.  

He Was An Early Morning Person 

According to reports, Steve Jobs wakes up at 6 AM and immediately works at 6:15 AM. You can already imagine him wearing his turtleneck and jeans. For most people, they are still enjoying their cup of coffee and trying to relax during the same period.  

Now, this is not surprising from him considering that a lot of successful people recommend that you wake up early. This will allow you to do a lot of things. That makes a lot of sense because there are no distractions. If Steve Jobs and other hotshots used the technique, then it safe to say that it works. 

Reassess His Everyday Activities  

Another important thing that Jobs did was to look in the mirror after waking up. He would ask himself the question, if this would be the last day of his life, would he still want to do the things he is about to do. If the answer is no for days, then that’s his cue to change something. He shared that he has been doing this for more than 30 years.  

He shared this part of his life during his speech. It was so beautiful because he reminded us that we must choose to be happy every single day. That’s one of the best ways you can ignite that passion. And we have to admit, some of us are just following our routine.  

Spends Time With The Kids  

Even with his busy schedule, he made sure that he spent time with his kids during breakfast. During this time, they will also finish their homework. Their usual breakfast are fruits and vegetables which are from their own garden. He will then take the kids to their school and go back to work.  

You see, even the powerful icons should allot time for people that matter to them the most. It doesn’t matter if they are one of the richest people in the world. Family will remain family.  

Does Not Take A Bath  

If you’ve seen his life story, perhaps you know this already.  

But for those who are not aware, Steve Jobs is not a fan of taking a shower. He believes that this is just a waste of time. What he did instead was to eat a lot of fruits. He had this belief that it could conceal the smell. We know that this was just a crazy idea, but coming from Steve Jobs – it’s not really surprising.  

When this has caused health and social problems, Steve Jobs started taking showers.  

Skips Early Morning Traffic And Works From Home  

Instead of spending time in traffic, he would work at home for three hours. And when done, he will then proceed to the office.  That seems logical as you can indeed do a lot of things within three hours. Imagine the reports and emails you can complete.  

And speaking of emails, Jobs shared that a significant part of his job consist of emails. Normally, you would get irritated. However, he shared that he learned to appreciate it as it serves as the thermometer of what is happening within his company.  

The bottom line here is that a good morning ritual is always critical, most especially if you want to be productive. You may follow what Jobs did (except for not taking a shower), or you can find your own routine. But if there is one tip that we highly recommend is that you ask yourself if you are happy with the activities lined up for the day. If not, then you might need to rethink your day.  

So, how are you going to start yours?
