8 CEO's Reveal Their Daily Habits Which Could Obviously Learn A Thing Or Two From
Nobody functions the exact same as another person, whether in general life tasks, or in how they carry themselves in the work place. Some people have mastered the art of their productivity, and that's what has lead them to thrive in their careers.Â
When you look at career success more closely, there's no denying said success is rooted within effective daily habits that continually push yourself forward. While you may not work like these CEO's, clearly you could learn something from them.
"I wake up and start every day with one initial thought: being thankful for the abundance in my life- family, friends, company, and more," says Miliefsky. Nothing good comes easy–it's a cliché, but it's true. Positive thought will kickstart your day and make the most of your productivity, rather than feeling disgruntled by the amount of things you need to get done.
He claims this is what his work week looks like when juggling work for two (revolutionary) companies, full time:

• Saturday-Time Off

You can get a lot more done in a day than you realize. Seriously, and it all starts with how much of the day are you awake? It's that simple. The NBA franchise CEO gets up at 3:30 AM to get his day started and make the most of all his waking hours. That's a little overboard, but consider getting up an hour earlier than you normally do a a week or more, then record the difference in your productivity. The result may (will) surprise you.
Frivolous amounts of meetings are what Cuban hates, and it's because it's waste of his and everybody involved's time. "Meetings are a waste of time unless you are closing a deal." He explains there are so many ways to communicate these days that there is no reason to sit through a meeting when you could be being productive otherwise. The only reason you should agree to go to a meeting is a set outcome has been determined.
Pushing through a grueling work day and spending a lot of time at the office is the opposite of what Williams sees as productivity. He takes off time mid-day to hit the gym and do other things in order to boost his energy levels so he can feel reinvigorated for another 5 hour shift of work.
Staying up to date on industry trends is what keep Bruch on top of things, and possibly ahead of the curve. That's a habit that most CEO's take on, because otherwise you shut yourself out of the potential for innovation. “[I spend] an hour or two every day keeping up with tech news on Twitter. It’s not good to obsess over what other people are doing, but staying informed is certainly important.â€
Meditation helps maintain Schwartz's "steady reservoir of energy." Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the abundance of tasks he has, he starts his day off with a little zen before tackling his workload.
The new IoT startup founder says you need to be willing to shake things up in your routine, otherwise you'll never learn anything new. It seems so obvious, but most people never do. They stick to what they know and don't understand why they can't get ahead. "I’m always trying new things and changing how I work," says Supalla, and so should you.
