Mark Zuckerberg has an unconventional morning routine that includes practicing jiu-jitsu or MMA as a means to prepare himself for the day ahead. He wakes up, checks his phone for work-related issues, and then engages in grappling for two hours. For him, this physical activity is more effective than caffeine, helping to clear his mind and increase focus. He believes that by engaging in a physically demanding and mentally absorbing workout, he can better tackle the challenges awaiting him at work.
When he says 'fighting,' he is referring to jiu-jitsu, a martial art that involves grappling, ground fighting, and submission holds.
What is a thing that is both super engaging physically but also intellectually, where you can't afford to focus on something else? MMA is the perfect thing.
After an hour or two, now I'm ready to go solve whatever problem at work for the day. I've fully processed the different news that's come in.
It's better than caffeine for me.
