Works from bed and dives in between: Valve boss shares his daily routine

The head of Valve has revealed details about his daily routine — and it turned out to be quite unconventional.

To start with, he prefers working directly from bed, kicking off his day in a relaxed, homey setting. Between online meetings and conference calls, the Valve boss finds time to pursue new experiences — one of his favorite hobbies is diving. Yes, even during the workday, he makes time for underwater sessions, saying it helps him unwind and “reset.”

He doesn’t follow a strict schedule: checking messages, attending virtual meetings, and diving into professional tasks can alternate with literally diving underwater. For him, it’s a synergy of productivity and relaxation. This combination of physical activity and work helps him feel energized and inspired.
