Tom Ford, a world renowned and respected fashion designer, recently did an interview with overly-expensive retail website Mr. Porter where he described his morning routine. And full disclosure, it’s pretty incredible.
Per Four Pins:
Ford wakes up at 4:30am due to his struggles with sleep, makes an enormous iced coffee, answers emails, makes himself a second (and even larger) iced coffee, grabs himself a bendy straw, draws a bath, turns off the lights, lights a single candle, gets in the bath and drinks his second iced coffee via said bendy straw while soaking before attacking the day.
This is on some serious American Psycho Patrick Bateman type shit, except I don’t think Tom has actually ever killed anybody.
When I wake up, I press the snooze button from 6:30 a.m. to 7:15 a.m., at which point I think to myself, “Alright, how much time can I kill checking my email and scrolling Instagram before I actually have to shower?” I then reach that time threshold and sit in bed for another five minutes which essentially assures that I won’t have time to shave that day. I shower, brush my teeth, put on deodorant, and brush my hair before taking the top layer of clean clothes off the top of my laundry basket before I’m out the door listening to a podcast en route to work.
So, yeah, you could say Tom Ford and I are pretty similar. .

Iced coffee or no iced coffee, if I sat in a warm tub in the dark at 4:30 in the morning, I would fall asleep and drown.
Gotta love that moment when you convince yourself that you don’t need to shave that day and sleep in the extra five minutes. You then go into the bathroom and look yourself in the mirror, and ya, you definitely needed to shave.
I like to call this…”Monday”

Trouble falling asleep? Pound coffee…?
Cool story. Keep up the good work Will!
