Ticking away the moments

Bill Gates, the tech titan known for his meticulous planning, found an unexpected escape in visits to Warren Buffett.

According to a new book by Anupreeta Das, Gates’ life was scheduled down to five-minute increments, leaving little room for spontaneity.

The Microsoft co-founder would occasionally hop on his private jet to Omaha, seeking respite from his tightly controlled routine.

Buffett’s laid-back lifeline

Warren Buffett, the Berkshire Hathaway mogul, provided Gates a stark contrast to his rigidly structured life.

Their meetings featured “freewheeling conversations” and casual airport pickups by Buffett himself. When in-person visits weren’t possible, the duo would engage in online bridge games, maintaining their connection despite busy schedules.

Gates has since acknowledged the value of Buffett’s relaxed approach to time management. In a recent Threads post, he admitted, “It took far too long for me to realize that you don’t have to fill every second of your schedule to be successful.”

This realization came after years of observing Buffett’s intentionally light calendar, offering a poignant lesson for workaholics everywhere.
