I think getting up early is often tied to productivity by itself, however the attribution here is only to the exercise. Oh well, it's not a scientific paper.

>“I don’t think of work as work and play as play. It’s all living.”

I think this doesn't apply to anyone but perhaps the crowd here. Many people tend to want to have a clear delineation between work and home life to avoid work creeping too much into family/personal time.

in his autobiography, During his fight with BRitish Airways his wife dragged him to a barbecue with friends. He spent all but the first five minutes in the car calling and organising his teams for a crucial meeting Monday Apparently he felt it was the closest to divorce he had come.

We have to take with a pinch of salt how rosy life was for people who have succeeded and look back hoping their kids were not too fucked up by them. (it's a worry we all have - just likely to be more so for people who spend life running round the globe)
