I've no interest in getting into celebrity gossip. All it says to me is someone who's very young and needs a written to-do list of how to get up in the morning, just to keep barely a grip on life and the un-handleable situation she's put herself into.

If that's what it gives you then that's mission accomplished for team Holmes.

I doubt this was her practiced schedule. More of like an sketch for her envisioned perfect day. Do you really believe people practice such schedules?

Is it really that hard to believe someone would do it somewhat regularly? I certainly don't do it every day, but more often then not I'll do the same kind of things in the morning (wake up around 4 - 4:30am, meditate, exercise, shower / clean, ...). It's just basic habits The part after the schedule is weird for sure, but the schedule itself sounds fine.

I'm the same. These habits are the foundation of my day. It's my choice to start with something I can control. Achieve some things, build some momentum before letting the world (news, emails - things I cant control) in.

Jocko Willink posts a picture of his watch during his workout every morning, usually in the 4:20 to 4:30 range.

Reminds me of this krazam.tv video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o7qjN3KF8U

I know HN is not the place for this, but those guys are so painfully underappreciated. I love so many of their videos, do yourself a favour and watch a few, such as the microservices one: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgBVkKoOAr3ajSdFFLp13_A

She seems to be sociopathic, it wouldn't be very surprising if she practiced variations of a schedule like this with the intent of molding herself into an image/fantasy of success, as she was appraently trying to do with quasi copying Jobs. It is certainly unlikely she was able to rigidly maintain a daily schedule like that.

Daily affirmations and goals like this are part of nearly every self help system on the market. This is straight out of a Tony Robbins style life success guide.

If Elizabeth Holmes did actually follow this schedule, then she wouldn't have to write it down. This is a wishlist. I actually do practice a similar schedule to this but I have never written it down anywhere. Writing it down and hoping you do it never works. This is the sort of thing you build naturally, piece-by-piece, and over time.

Pretty generic executive coach/mentor nonsense

I'm baffled at the response in these HN comments. There are currently thousands of life coaches and influences all over the internet who tell people to do these exact type of morning aspiration journals. There is nothing abnormal in these notes.
