All CEOs try to stick to

a strict diet regime. Some succeed while most fail to maintain it in the longer term. Then, there is Jack Dorsey, CEO, Twitter, and CEO and Chairman of Square, a payment processing product.

The 43-year- old has adopted an intermittent fasting schedule — he eats during a window of six to eight hours and fasts for the rest of the day. Dorsey eats only dinner. His meal is reported to have fish, chicken or steak and a lot of greens. That’s followed by mixed berries for dessert. Dorsey claims the strict regime helps him "stay sharper".

As if maintaining that diet regime was not enough, Dorsey walks the five miles to work three times a week. On the other two days, he works out of home.

Dorsey aims to meditate for two hours a day — one hour each in the morning and evening. He follows the meditative ritual of Vipassana. Recently, he finished his third Vipassana 10- day schedule in Worcester, South Africa. He tweeted: "Continues to be the toughest and best thing I do for myself." Africa had a big impact on him and he said he plans to spend at least three months there in 2020.

Vipassana entails long periods of silence as well as sitting on meditation for hours. The retreats are not only mentally challenging but physically daunting as well. During the 10 days there are no devices, reading, writing, physical exercise, music, intoxicants, meat, talking, or even eye contact with others. S. N. Goenka, whose establishment Dorsey visited, was one of the most popular proponents of Vipassana.
