His week is themed and has a place for both his companies with enough room to disconnect and recharge. This shows that a lot can happen with planning and following a routine.
Success comes to those who plot and then meticulously execute their planning. This planning is feasible only if implemented regularly. Dorsey advocates that self-discipline and practice is the right way to go about it. Therefore, having a brilliant routine becomes the primary habit of all successful people.
A dedicated routine can do wonders to-
● Save time

● Bring a sense of organization and discipline
● Break bad habits
● Make you more efficient
Therefore, it is ideal that you have a routine in place. Schedule and time activities mindfully and find time for everything that matters.
Read something or the other
Most entrepreneurs and billionaires are voracious readers. For instance, Bill Gates reads a book every week and Mark Cuban dedicates at least three hours per day to reading. Why? Because apart from multiplying knowledge, reading actually improves your brainpower. It influences your cognitive skills, improves memory, sparks new ideas, and adds to your literacy, making you smarter every day. This makes it an unquestionable habit of all successful people.
So try to inculcate the habit of reading. If you are totally strange to the practice, select your favorite genre, and start small by reading one page a day.
To reap the maximum benefits, indulge in reading about your industry and niche. Read relevant and educational material.
This is a good way to be abreast of all the latest news and recognize trends.
Workout without fail
Billionaires like Jack Dorsey, Oprah Winfrey, Mark Zuckerberg have a super hack to success: exercise.
Mark Zuckerberg works out at least three times a week. Oprah Winfrey intends to be active for the most part of her day. Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey resorts to exercise as a way to disconnect and replenish from his hectic life. Meditation and a dedicated 20 minutes exercise regime work wonders for him. The takeaway for us? Regular workout for a strong body and agile mind.
Endless research and studies have established a connection between an active body and a sharp mind. Clearly, a workout regime not only spikes up the feel-good neurotransmitter - dopamine but also brings about mental stimulation.
Inculcate this positive habit used by all successful people for personal and professional advancement.
Practice Positivity
The power of positive thinking is harnessed by all successful people. A positive attitude is the core element that makes or breaks most of your habits. When you leverage your mind to think positively, you stay happier with an abundance of free-flowing thoughts. Moreover, the overthinking that comes from pessimism is disposed of for good. Consequently, you become more action-oriented, truly limitless, and confident in life.
Focus on self-care and overall wellness
Successful habits are not only about routine or work attitude. They should equally focus on overall wellness and self-care. This wellness must involve all aspects of mental health and physical health.
Such practices of taking care of the self are followed by successful people worldwide. Steve Jobs practices zen meditation to destress and lead a more satisfying life. The fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt prioritizes sleep to increase his efficiency on the track.
There is no one size fits all approach to wellness. Thereby, creating a robust plan of action that serves your goals and general well-being.
Focused thinking is simply the most attentive and conscious state of mind. In a nutshell, it is about having a one-track mind, free from distractions. It helps to make better decisions and learn skills better and faster. It is contrary to diffused thinking, that allows you to look at the bigger picture. With focused thinking, you concentrate on the matters at hand.
Most successful people practice focused thinking for at least 30 minutes daily. It is a great way to analyze different aspects of personal and professional life. It is linked with improved and successful problem solving, leading to better results.
Network Mindfully
A big business strategy of all successful people is that they network seamlessly. They associate with those who kindle inspiration and new ideas. They erect a circle that is equally profitable to their business and personal development. It is because positive, driven and goal-oriented people have a sound effect on major domains of your life like personality and motivation. Therefore, build a network of such people who inspire you to become a better version of yourself. Seek the company of successful people and build healthy relationships with those who inspire.
Develop Creative Facilities
Creativity plays a major part in shaping up your ideas and habits. Even with a dominant analytical side, you use up some part of your creativity day-to-day. As a success habit, it is time you focus on getting more creative. Why? Because creativity sparks new ideas, solutions, career prospects, problem-solving attitude, improves productivity and efficiency.
Most successful entrepreneurs fill their free slots with gardening, reading, songwriting, golfing, traveling, and doing DIY projects.

While all the other tips help you become more with your goals, this tip advises you to slow down every now and then. While preparing a daily plan of action, successful people employ breaks judiciously. As productivity enhancers, breaks help you to work without losing focus and rejuvenates you from time to time. As a healthy practice, get to know about your concentration levels and appoint breaks in your schedule. This way you can keep your energy strong and get work done faster.

Successful people also celebrate their failures. They take them sportingly like valuable life lessons and learn from them. You should harbor such a mind-frame too. Live in the moment, make each attempt count and learn from previous errors. Such a mindset blooms from positive thinking. Be open and accepting of challenges, take risks, and don't be afraid to fail.
