Bill Gates: 'I could have learned' this lesson from Warren Buffett a lot sooner Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have given each other a few tips over the course of their friendship, which has lasted for more than three decades and counting. One of those lessons is something Gates wishes he'd learned a lot sooner, to clear up his busy schedule — and possibly even made him happier and more productive. "It took far too long for me to realize that you don't have to fill every second of your schedule to be successful," Gates posted on Meta's Threads app on Thursday. "In hindsight, it's a lesson I could have learned a lot sooner had I taken more peeks at Warren Buffett's intentionally light calendar." Gates "had every minute packed" on his schedule when he was CEO of Microsoft, a job he held for 25 years before stepping down in 2000. He's admitted he was a difficult boss — one who wasn't shy about sending 2:00 a.m. requests to employees.
