About this routine

The Jack Dorsey morning routine relies on simplicity and extended discipline rather than complex hacks. Built around silent meditation and a five-mile walk, this early start creates mental space before the day demands your attention.

Dorsey starts with simple hydration before spending 60 minutes in silent Vipassana meditation. This practice focuses on observational awareness without reaction. Sitting in quiet stillness helps train sustained attention and calm the mind.

After sitting, he spends 75 minutes on a five-mile walk outdoors. Moving on foot without digital distraction turns a daily commute or morning exercise into an active meditation. You can structure this deliberate sequence using a timed morning routine to stay present during long sitting sessions and quiet walks.
