Mark Zuckerberg has a lot on his plate.
The 33-year-old runs Facebook, the social media giant with a market cap of $433.25 billion.
It's not surprising that the tech CEO has quite a lot to do throughout the day.
That being said, Zuckerberg still makes the time to exercise, travel extensively and spend time with his family.
He stays productive and balanced by eliminating non-essential choices from his life and setting ambitious goals for himself.
Here's a look at an average day for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg:

When asked about his wardrobe in 2014, he told the audience: "I really want to clear my life to make it so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community."

"I spend most of my time thinking about how to connect the world and serve our community better, but a lot of that time isn't in our office or meeting with people or doing what you'd call real work," he told CNN.

He took a two-month parental leave from Facebook after she was born in December 2015. In March 2017, the couple announced that they are expecting another daughter.
