Elizabeth Holmes' Daily Schedule(twitter.com) |
It is imperative that people understand the CEO's total superiority over the common person. They do not sleep like everyone else. They don't waste or lose time like everyone else. They do not neglect their family. Their body is toned and strong. Their mind is focused and cultured, with an insatiable appetite for information.
Behold, I bring you: the CEO!
Australia gets up before everyone, they should be dominating.
I almost certainly get lots of stuff done before you get out of bed. You probably get more done than I do in the evening. I don't know why so many of you get bent out of shape about the former but not the latter.

> Holmes’ lawyer moved into evidence a bizarre handwritten document. Holmes said she recognized the handwriting as Balwani’s. (...) The document contained instructions such as, “Every morning I will force myself out of bed and spend 30 minutes+ (never a minute less) to write what I want from my day.
> Then we saw a schedule Holmes had drawn up for herself on what appeared to be hotel stationery for a hotel in Singapore called Raffles.
Just because thousands of life coaches do it, doesn't mean it isn't a weird thing to do.
Now, people are calling this also ironic given the charlatan nature of her career and the naked narcissism it hides.
Back to the point about this being typical executive crap: what do you think your typical exec or exec wannabe thinks? It's all about the (narcissistic) goals, and anything else is just a bridge or a barrier to them. Basically every CEO is a showman charlatan and a narcissist.
It makes all the Elon hate so funny. People, he's actually par far on the honest/good side of the entire CEO psycho personality statistical distribution. Zuck is probably dead middle. Now try parsing the mindset of the petroleum execs, tobacco execs, mining companies, etc.
Capitalism is a genetic engineering framework for producing more and more refined social psychopaths. It doesn't reward "good". It doesn't reward "sharing".
I imagine that her smile is a tad frightening.
Benjamin Franklin's schedule (from his autobiography) is a famous and probably factual example[1].

The part after the schedule is weird for sure, but the schedule itself sounds fine.
> No, no; we'd better say good-bye and part friends. I am a bit of a dreamer myself, and I used to dream of you once. Very often during those five years down at his estate I used to dream and think, and I always imagined just such a good, honest, foolish fellow as you, one who should come and say to me: 'You are an innocent woman, Nastasia Philipovna, and I adore you.' I dreamt of you often. I used to think so much down there that I nearly went mad; and then this fellow here would come down. He would stay a couple of months out of the twelve, and disgrace and insult and deprave me, and then go; so that I longed to drown myself in the pond a thousand times over; but I did not dare do it.
Who thinks repeatedly sexually harassing _your boss_, who can terminate your employment, is a move that's going to earn you career success??
There's also a lot of other evidence to say that she was quite comfortable with how things went in their relationship and at work.
Similarly, through all the buildup to where we're at now, not once was this floated, until trial. Holmes was a believer, still touting that we have her and Theranos all wrong, are all luddite naysayers. Day 1 of the trial? "Actually, Sunny made me do it all".
Let's not get into the sociopathic narcissism (and other apt phrases) that comes with "I just got the trial calendar for my federal court case that could see me get 20 years in jail. Oh look, in the midst of all that, I got pregnant with a due date that is just before the trial is set to wrap up". Yes, people fall in love, accidents happen, but my thoughts in this scenario have "have a kid" pretty damn far down the list of my priorities (that being said, the aforementioned narcissism and denial could genuinely have her believing "there's no way in hell anyone finds me guilty").
There's very little "mean gossip" about it.
I recommend it, it's rather spot on.
Edit: also, she doesn't get to control the narrative. "Here's evidence of how I lived my life, but you don't get to look at it or talk about it in ways other than I intended" and we are not obligated to stick to the "approved narrative".
Uhh, well, other than the fact that it's closer to 25% of my _available_ day (8h sleep, 8h work, 1h commute, 1h preparation, 1h meals), you mean?
I know some people will swear before god that they can function on little sleep, but the fact is that your decision making and judgement is seriously hampered by maintaining a long term sleep deficit.
It was news to me, literally, but apparently their "romantic" relationship goes back to 2002/2003.
But in general I am quite skeptical of Holmes.
Sunny met her when he was 38 and she was in high school, heading to Stanford in 2003. So above and beyond "secret relationship with the boss", I could also see "not wanting to be seen as grooming/a groomed high school student" as a reason to keep things on the downlow.
I can see someone doing this and posting it online to keep themselves accountable.
Would you post what time you worked out everyday? Would you post how many hours you worked today? Would you post how many calories you ate today? There is a reason why this isn't a common way for people to use the internet.
