- 12:14Sara Blakely creates a fake commute to give herself uninterrupted thinking time.
- 14:32Choose tomorrow's three priorities the night before, following Ken Chenault's planning habit.

Does a productive morning really have to begin before dawn? Evan Carmichael's "How Billionaires Think, Invest and Create Wealth" makes room for a less punishing idea: protect some thinking time before everyone else gets access to you.
The most memorable example comes from Spanx founder Sara Blakely, who creates a commute even when she doesn't need one. Driving gives her space for ideas. Carmichael pairs that with Jeff Bezos's slow mornings and Bill Gates combining exercise with lectures, turning a grand wealth-building title into something closer to a guide to managing attention. The private-equity mechanics arrive much later, after the morning routines and priority lists.
At roughly 52,000 views, it is the week's most watched new upload and the channel's busiest video right now. One commenter says they listen while running, a neat echo of the video's suggestion to attach learning to an existing habit. Another asks whether a small creator should stay in a niche or cover broader topics, bringing the discussion back to an actual business decision.
Across seven uploads, Carmichael also explored organization, Sam Altman's success rules, Lewis Hamilton's career and Elon Musk's approach to learning. A conversation with business consultant and hypnotherapy practitioner Julie Edmonds focused on limiting beliefs. The newer "How to Train Your Brain to Think Like a Business Genius" is already another active source of views.
The channel added about a million views over seven days, with subscribers unchanged and its current daily viewing pace slightly below usual. Ali Abdaal had a similar weekly view total and also unchanged subscribers; Mel Robbins and Lewis Howes both added subscribers. For Carmichael, the week's clearest thread is practical focus: fewer priorities, protected mornings and enough empty calendar space to think.

is pure gold! I'm an Indian creator working on a facts channel, and watching your content is a huge motivation for my own journey. Your point about 'better known beats best' is so true. Do you think staying niche is better than covering broad topics for long-term growth?@realfactshalaSee it on YouTubeThanks from Bangladesh
