Andrew Wilkinson: Daily Routine

The co-founder of Tiny keeps a lazy schedule by design, working just 5–6 hours a day while overseeing 20+ companies from 30,000 feet.

Tiny co-founder Andrew Wilkinson, nicknamed “the Warren Buffet for startups” currently oversees a group of over 20 companies, including his design agency Metalab, with 300+ employees and tens of millions in revenue. He does this all with a lifestyle that differs vastly from most startup founders.

“By most measures, I’m a lazy bastard,” Wilkinson admits. There’s no 5am-wake-up-meditation-journal-exercise daily routine. In fact, on most days Wilkinson will wake up past noon time after getting a solid 8 hours of sleep.

I wake up around 1pm and almost always get eight hours of sleep. Most days, I head to the office in the early afternoon and work around 5-6 hours. Sometimes I put in another couple hours at night, but I take the majority of my time away from work, and I never work weekends.
