<\/p>\n

No worker, from front-line employee to CEO, is immune to the end-of-week brain fog that comes after a string of intense days on the job. Over the course of his Wall Street career, JPMorgan\u2019s Jamie Dimon has learned to avoid making big decisions when the weekend rolls around\u2014fried nerves will only lead to poor choices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve learned some stuff like when I was 30, like anger doesn\u2019t help,\u201d the bank CEO recently said during an interview with NPR. \u201cMaking big decisions on a Friday when you\u2019re tired is a really bad idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dimon has spent more than four decades in finance\u2014from working as an assistant to then-American Express president Sandy Weill, to leading $826 billion titan JPMorgan through the financial crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite having learned what works best in business, Dimon admitted he still falls into the Friday decision-making trap; and every time he comes out of it remembering why he avoids making important choices during his end-of-week slump.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI always call them lessons learned and relearned,\u201d Dimon continued. \u201cI still make some of those mistakes, unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CEOs who set rules to keep them \u2018sane\u2019 on the job<\/p>\n

There are many business leaders who set firm boundaries around their schedules and meetings\u2014habits honed over decades of experience finding their flow.<\/p>\n

Airbnb cofounder and CEO Brian Chesky is doing things differently in leading the $78 billion short-term rental giant. He no longer bothers with tedious emailing, rarely dealing with his inbox anymore; instead, Chesky prefers to call, text, or talk it out when he\u2019s on the clock. The leader also banned 9 a.m. meetings, pushing back all those important conversations to 10 a.m. the earliest. \u201cWhen you\u2019re CEO,\u201d told The Wall Street Journal last year, \u201cyou can decide when the first meeting of the day is.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t apologize for how you want to run your company,\u201d Chesky continued, adding that \u201c[Emailing] was the thing about my job that I hated the most before the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Curbing time-consuming, energy-draining meetings is also a priority of Southwest Airlines CEO Bob Jordan in 2026. The airline executive said that \u201cit\u2019s easy to confuse busyness and going to meetings with leadership,\u201d but this year he\u2019s shaking things up. Jordan said his goal is to keep his calendar free of any meetings every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoon. It could sound \u201ccrazy\u201d to some leaders, he acknowledged, but it allows him to invest more energy into other matters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so that you can work on things you need to work on,\u201d Jordan said at the New York Times DealBook Summit last year. \u201cYou can think about what\u2019s important right now. You can call people you need to talk to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marc Randolph, the cofounder of Netflix, also set one rule when it came to managing his intense entrepreneurial career: Tuesdays ended at 5 p.m., no matter what. For decades, Randolph said he tried to keep \u201cmy life balanced with my job\u201d by drawing that line. And it proved to be essential to his well-being.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFor over 30 years, I had a hard cutoff on Tuesdays. Rain or shine, I left at exactly 5 p.m. and spent the evening with my best friend,\u201d Randolph wrote in a 2023 LinkedIn post. \u201cWe would go to a movie, have dinner, or just go window-shopping downtown together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThose Tuesday nights kept me sane,\u201d the Netflix cofounder continued. \u201cAnd they put the rest of my work in perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n
