CEO Morning Routines Are Bananas. Our Reporter Tried Them.
Earlier this month, WSJ’s Ray A. Smith stepped into the shoes of JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon, Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman and Hollywood executive Nathan Brown to see how their action-packed prework regimens affected his performance during the workday.

1 年On any workday (weekdays) I'm up @ 3:30 AM to shower, then meditate! I've written a roadmap for the beginning spiritual practice, with four different parts, complete-able in twenty minutes or less! I spent the last ten years in the making of it, as I had to be certain EVERYTHING WORKED! I'm proud to say. . it's changed my life, and it can change anyone's for the better! drop me an email @ [email protected] and they're a modest $20.00 usd. Thanks again! Happy meditation journey! Blessings ALL.
