Here's the 'terrible habit' Elon Musk wants to cut from his morning routine
The richest person in the world and CEO of Tesla Inc TSLA, Elon Musk, is a busy person and maintains regular habits to balance his personal and professional life.
However, there is one specific daily routine he wants to change. In a recent interview, Musk said he was addicted to his phone and checked it first thing in the morning.
"I have a bad habit — which I suspect a lot of people have — of immediately checking my phone in the morning. It's a terrible habit," Musk said in the interview.
According to research, within the first 15 minutes of waking up, nearly 80% of smartphone users check their phone.
Earlier, in a 2014 interview, he mentioned that he used to check his emails early in the morning before starting his day.

Talking about how he planned to change his routine to make it healthier, Musk added, "I need to train and get in better shape. So, I'm going to go from immediately looking at my phone as soon as I wake up to working out for at least 20 minutes and then looking at my phone."
Study suggests that early morning workouts improve productivity, and a healthier lifestyle gives an extra boost. It also helps with listening and decision making.
In his daily routine, Musk wakes up around 7:00 a.m. every day. He tends to stay awake until around 1:00 a.m. and only likes to sleep 6 to 6.5 hours per night. Musk was known to work close to 80-100 hours a week in the past.
"There were probably times when I was drinking about eight [Diet Cokes] a day or something ridiculous," Musk said. "I think it's probably one or two these days, so it's nothing too crazy."
