When everything we think of Steve Jobs we imag ine him as a workaholic
However, Jobs needed his own time too, and Apple employees knew it. If Jobs’ iPhone was offline and the CEO wasn’t responding, it could only mean one thing.

Former executive assistant to Jobs, Naz beheshti, revealed this detail in his book “Pause. Breathe. Choose: Become the CEO of your well-being ”. According to his account, even Steve Jobs himself needed a mental break, uninterrupted by the demands of being a CEO, and in that case, he would disconnect his iPhone.
When these gave in, Apple employees already knew what was going on and they knew where he was hiding: in Jony Ive’s office, a former chief designer at Apple, where he dreamed of the future and played with models and prototypes that Jobs often called his “toys”.
“I quickly discovered what playing time looked like for Steve Jobs and how it was one of the keys to his success as a great innovator. “Whenever someone looked for Steve, or when he couldn’t be reached by phone, there was only one place he could be found almost infallibly: in the office of Jony Ive, former designer in head of Apple.“
“We lost our minds trying to get in touch with him, trying to get him to his meetings. “At one point we had to call Jony’s office and ask for his help in getting Steve out of his ‘playtime’. Her time with Jony gave her the space and the opportunity to laugh, imagine, create and feel a renewed sense of freedom.
