“I run my house as a military operation,” Grede said Entrepreneur. “It is important for me to unite my family, even for 30 minutes. It is important to touch the base and look at each other.”

He also says he has “a lot of help” directing his home.
“I don’t have four children who arrive at school myself in the morning,” Grede said. “I have a lot of help around me, and I trust all that help to spend the day … no superwoman.”
Grete says that while his routine is detailed, he allows him to work, spend time with his family and still be flexible when necessary.

“As much as I like to have my routines, when things happen, they happen and you can’t control it,” he said. “I have to have an element of flexibility to make sure you can do things.”
Here is the routine of Grede’s week, in the military style:
0500 Hors (5 AM) – Wake up
Gredo establishes an alarm for 5 am and exercises or uses the morning time to discover his schedule for the day.
“I have a quiet moment before all my children get up,” he said.
After his training or day planning session, Gredo makes a shake and then awakens his children.
0700 hors (7 am) preparing
At 7 in the morning, everyone is awake and preparing for the day. It can be chaotic.
“At 7 in the morning, my house is like Lax, JFK, Heathrow,” Grete said. “It’s crazy. Everyone prepares.”
0740 hours (7:40 am) breakfast at the table
Greda asks everyone to be at the breakfast table at “exactly 7:40” because that gives the family half an hour to sit at the table together before everyone is going to work the school.
“Now, in what state of nudity could be, I don’t know,” Grede said. “Are you made your hair? Are you hydrated? Are you ready? You know, a shoe, I don’t care. But everyone has to be at that breakfast.”
Grede’s family generally chooses a buffet or breakfast articles, including eggs, cereals and yogurt.
0810 (8:10 am) – Trip to the office
After breakfast, everyone leaves the house. Gredo works from the office 5 days a week, stating that the nature of his role in Skims as a “product person” requires that he works from the office.
“I make a physical product that has to sit in people’s bodies, so I will always be a person in person five days a week,” Grete said.

0900 HORS (9 AM) at 1700 HORS (5 PM) – Meetings
Grede says that his work day consists of consecutive meetings all day, every day.
She excessively about 150 people in Good American and around 400 staff members in Skims, and says “a huge amount of time” hiring new employees.
“Contract for the right people to compensate where it could not be particularly strong,” Grede said.
His philosophy is to hire well, then get out of the way.
She leaves the office without fail every day at 5 pm
1800 hours (6 pm) at 2200 hors (10 pm) – dinner and time with the family
Grete dedicates his nights to the family. She gets home and dinner with her husband and children.
“I have the bath time, the time of sleeping and a small story with the children before bedtime,” he said.
2200 hours (10 pm) – More work and bedtime
Gred will answer electronic work emails at 10 pm, if necessary.
“I work all the time,” he revealed. “If there are emails to be answered at 10 pm, there are emails to be answered at 10 pm. I will be talking on the phone. I do what I have to do to spend the day.”
