Martha Stewart reflected on her busy routine while continuing to balance her work and daily activities at 85.
During the same interview at her 156-acre Bedford, N.Y., farm, Stewart reflected on her demanding routine.
"I’m very particular still. I still am a perfectionist. I still like to do many things at the same time. I like to do all the same things I’ve pretty much always done," she said.
She added, "I’d like to have a little bit more free time. I don’t have any free time at all—but I’m working on that."
Stewart reportedly woke up at 3 a.m. to complete her daily puzzles before appearing on Today to promote her home intelligence app, Hint.
