"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."
"Executives at all sorts of companies-including Salesforce, Visa, Amazon, Zillow, and American Express-can't resist the pull of their phones in the morning. Many seem to be tuning into the same types of apps before making their morning coffee: LinkedIn, Slack, Mail, the Weather app, news sources, and a litany of wellness platforms optimizing their health. This daily habit helps set them up for success heading into the day, whether it's staying up to date on current events or strategizing the workday ahead while getting ready."
Many senior executives begin their mornings by checking smartphone apps immediately after silencing alarms. Executives commonly open weather, messaging, email, LinkedIn, news, Slack, and wellness platforms before making coffee. Specific leaders check health-tracking apps to review sleep, while others scan messaging platforms to triage urgent matters. The weather app is used to anticipate personal presentation and logistics. LinkedIn remains a frequent morning visit even among those who try to stay unplugged. These app-checking habits help executives stay informed, prioritize tasks, and shape strategies for the coming workday.
