It's hard to build one billion-dollar company.
Jack Dorsey built 2 at the same time.
He had to be incredibly intentional with his time.
Here's how he spends it:🧵

Jack wakes up at 5 am and jumps into an ice-cold bath to boost his mental confidence.
Then he practices an hour of silent meditation.
He also likes to drink 28 ounces of water or a mix of lemon juice water and Himalayan salt.

I tried waking up at 5 am and found it to be incredibly effective.
But it was really hard for me to retain.
I also do the ice bath once or twice a week. I find it energizing as well as the electrolytes and lemon water.
I really enjoy these habits.

Jack goes for a 5-mile walk to his office which takes him about 1 hour and 15 min.
During the walk, he listens to audiobooks and podcasts to learn.
He says this walk makes him feel alive.

I run multiple companies and I found that segmenting my days is a great way to structure my week.
For example, Tuesday is when I do only content.
There are other days when I do a lot of calls and others where I have free time for learning and thinking.

Jack works at a standing desk and has a near-infrared bulb shining on him.
I use a treadmill desk and a bike desk, and I do an hour every day.
It's a really good way to keep your body moving, and feel active and energized throughout the day.

Jack only eats one meal/day Monday through Thursday between 6-9 pm.
From Friday through Sunday evening, he only drinks water.
Intermittent fasting has been shown to improve metabolic health, increase longevity and have cognitive benefits.
I've tried it and had good results.

After dinner, he does a 7-minute workout 3 times.
This is good if you're extremely busy and want to get some exercise done.
But it's not the most optimal exercise for your overall health.

I'm lucky enough to have a home gym. It saves me 20-40 minutes every day by not having to travel and I can do the workout in between meetings.
I also like to work out with a friend. It makes it more fun and effortless.
I find this to be really effective and productive.

After that Jack does his hydrotherapy routine.
First, he sits in the sauna for 15 min at 220 degrees before hopping into the 37-degree ice bath for 3 min. He repeats this 3 times.

There's been a lot of research on saunas. Saunas improve your heart and mental health and help you live longer.
I've got a small infrared sauna at my house and I go in there 1-2 times per week.
I sleep better and feel energized the next day.

He meditates for another hour before doing some reflective journaling and writing his to-do list.
Then he summarizes his day in the Notes app.
I've tried it but didn't find it to be productive.
I prefer Notion. It's challenging at first but highly effective once you learn it.

Jack's vacations are not like most billionaires.
In 2018 he went to a 10-day silent meditation retreat in Myanmar for his birthday.
He meditated daily from 4:30 am to 9 pm.
He says it brought him an incredible level of focus and clarity.

Eating only one meal, meditating 2hs and doing a crazy hydrotherapy routine might not be for everyone.
This works for @jack, but you have to find what works for you.
Experiment and double down on what makes you feel great.
