There’s a lot of mystique around the CEO’s morning routine; each business leader has their own habit to start the day off right, whether that’s cold plunges or 5 a.m. runs before work. But many top executives start their days just like everyone else: shutting off their alarms and rolling over to check their phones.
Even CEOs leading billion-dollar companies peruse through apps first thing in the morning. Lyft CEO David Risher starts his day off by checking the ŌURA app to see how he slept—the same routine of the smart ring company’s chief executive, Tom Hale. And Jordan Goldstein, the co-CEO of global architecture firm Gensler, runs through all his messaging platforms to check which matters are pressing and which can wait for a response.
