Oprah Winfrey: Daily Routine

Oprah doesn’t set alarms or write to-do lists — instead, she builds her day around gratitude, intention, and a strict two-hour business window.

“You get a car, you get a car, and everybody gets a car!” is one of the countless iconic lines that comes to mind when anyone utters the name: Oprah. While most entrepreneurs praise “the to-do list,” Oprah isn’t a fan – instead, she prioritizes mindfulness, no alarm clocks, and keeping business affairs to a bare minimum.

From a poverty-stricken upbringing in rural Mississippi, to earning a full scholarship before landing a spot on the morning talk show, Baltimore Is Talking, to now, securing her status as a global icon and America’s first black billionaire, with a net worth of US$2.5 billion, you’re probably wondering – how does she do it?

The eight things Oprah needs to start a “beautiful” day when she arises each morning by 7:23am (without an alarm clock) are: Nature, taking her five dogs out, the perfect caffeinated-decaffeinated coffee (her very own concoction with a touch of hazelnut), a box filled with 365 truths to choose from each day, meditation, a dip into the ‘Bowl of Saki’ app for ancestral teachings, and a good workout.
