"Chesky no longer bothers with pesky emails; they were a huge annoyance, and he rarely touches them anymore. Instead, Chesky communicates while he's on the clock and prefers to call and text, the WSJ reported. And that's not the only office tradition he's done away with. For Chesky, 9 a.m. meetings are a thing of the past. As someone who hits productivity strides in the wee hours of the morning, Chesky pushes early meetings back to 10 a.m.-and no earlier."
"The 44-year-old Airbnb co-founder also doesn't believe the early bird catches the worm-he gets his energy in the nighttime, after his workout routine that wraps up around 9:30 p.m. He hits his peak productivity at 10 p.m., lasting until he falls asleep around 2:30 a.m. "If I had a girlfriend, that would probably change," Chesky explained. "But I don't, so I'll enjoy this." A 2:30 a.m. bedtime means no meetings at the crack of dawn the next day-10 a.m. is the earliest he'll go."
Brian Chesky rejects conventional 'grindset' routines and structures his executive life around late-night productivity. He largely stopped handling email because it annoyed him and now prefers phone calls and texts while on the clock. He removed routine early-morning obligations, eliminating 9 a.m. meetings and setting 10 a.m. as the earliest meeting time. His daily rhythm includes a workout that wraps around 9:30 p.m., peak productivity beginning at 10 p.m. and lasting until about 2:30 a.m., and a typical bedtime near 2:30 a.m. He treats scheduling as an executive prerogative and tailors company norms to his personal workflow.
