Inside Jack Dorsey’s Daily Routine: Discipline, Stillness, and Structure
May 9, 2025
Jack Dorsey is known for a daily routine that combines intensity with intention. From morning ice baths to evening meditation, his schedule is crafted to sharpen decision-making, enhance resilience, and cultivate presence. Here is a look inside one of tech’s most disciplined daily rituals.
5:00 AM: Wake, Reflect, and Meditate
Dorsey starts his day early, around 5:00 AM. He begins with one hour of silent meditation. This sets the tone for mindfulness and clarity throughout the day.
6:00 AM: Cold Exposure and Exercise
A cold plunge or ice bath comes next—sometimes as cold as 37 degrees Fahrenheit. After that, he walks five miles to the office, using the time to think or listen to audio books. This physical routine energizes both body and mind.
8:00 AM – 6:00 PM: Themed Work Blocks
His workday follows his themed weekly structure, with each day devoted to a specific area. Dorsey avoids frequent context switching and instead leans into deep work, minimizing meetings and distractions.
6:00 PM: Light Dinner and Wind Down
He follows intermittent fasting and eats only one meal a day, typically dinner. This helps him maintain energy and mental sharpness. Meals are simple—often fish, vegetables, and berries.
7:00 PM: Digital Detox and Reflection
Dorsey avoids screens in the evening. He reflects, journals, and prepares mentally for the next day. A second session of meditation helps close the loop on a full, structured day.
9:00 PM: Sleep
He goes to bed early to maintain the consistency of his circadian rhythm. Sleep, to him, is a tool for decision-making and creative clarity.
Conclusion: Mastery in Simplicity
Jack Dorsey has a daily routine that is not about doing more—it is about doing what matters with presence and consistency. His schedule is not for everyone, but it offers key lessons: protect your time, train your body, and anchor your mind.
