Simon Cowell reveals he only works 4 days a week – and the 4 strict rules he never breaks
Former self-confessed workaholic Simon Cowell has revealed his top tips for job success and family life.
The 63-year-old, who is behind The X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent and American Idol, has had a lengthy career within the music industry spanning back to the 1980s
Reflecting on his work habits now and how he continued to remain successful, Simon said he only works four days a week and detailed his four secrets.
He explained to The US Sun: “Don’t work on Fridays, because you don’t have to.
“Don’t read emails after 5.30. Watch a happy movie. And stay outside.”
He said it was “just pointless” to work on Fridays and admitted his shift in mindset was down to becoming a father.
Simon and his wife Lauren Silverman welcomed their son Eric back in 2014 and went on to get engaged in 2022.
Although Simon sticks to his four-day week, he warned those following in his footsteps needed to be “absolutely focused”.
