When he’s not meeting Pope Francis, Donald Trump or hanging with friend Vin Diesel, he will exercise, travel extensively and be with his family – and has a team of 12 people to manage his own social media accounts

Between running Facebook and raising two young daughters, Mark Zuckerberg has a lot on his plate.

While the tech CEO dedicates many hours to work, he still makes the time to exercise, travel extensively, and be with his family, he's said in past interviews. Zuckerberg stays productive and balanced by eliminating non-essential choices from his life and setting ambitious goals for himself.

Here's a look at a typical day for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

After waking up at 8am, the Facebook founder immediately checks Facebook, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp on his phone before he even puts in his contact lenses, he told Jerry Seinfeld in a Facebook Live Q&A.

The social media session typically only lasts a few minutes but can take longer depending on current events, Zuckerberg said.

Once he's gotten his morning updates, it's time to work out. “I try to go for a run or work out, that's a good way to start the day,” Zuckerberg said. He typically exercises about three times a week.

Sometimes he brings his Hungarian Sheepdog, Beast, along. The tech CEO says running with his pet has the “added bonus of being hilarious” because it's “basically like seeing a mop run.”
