    Great idea

    Harvard (biased) kinda did that, tracked ‘em in 15min increments (24hr daily) for months:

    The Job Is All-Consuming

    CEOs are always on, … always more to be done. … worked 9.7 hours per weekday. … conducted business on 79% of weekend days [3.9 hours daily], 70% of vacation days [2.4 hours daily]. … CEO’s job is relentless.

    2hr/day playtime, 6.9hr sleep:

    We paid special attention to the 25% of time—or roughly six hours a day—when CEOs were awake and not working. … spent about half those hours with their families, … learned to become very disciplined about this.

    (otherwise divorce presumably)

    Running a large global company is an exceedingly complex job. … functional agendas, business unit agendas, multiple organizational levels, and myriad external issues. … constituencies—shareholders, customers, employees, the board, the media, government, community organizations … CEO has to engage with them all. … must be the internal and external face of the organization through good [&] bad.

    Still be better at it than superbowl quarterback I guess

    Anyway pretty different depending on whether you’re at Nestle cheating African mothers out of breastmilk or someone who sucks less huh

      Sounds like my day. Meetings, interfacing with different teams, coordinating work, doing work, etc. I should get a few million too then?
