One of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time and the man who’s only ambition is to save the human race from destruction through new innovations and technologies, have a pretty solid routine that he performs very rigorously.
He works from 85 to 100 hours a week which could only be possible by maintaining strict planning and effective routines. Elon Musk starts his day by waking up very early in the morning and by having simple breakfast such as bread and omelettes.
He is not a regular work-out guy but he runs on treadmill or lifts weights once or twice a week. He also loves to send emails early in the morning while he is sipping an espresso. He also loves to brainstorm new and innovative ideas in the morning as written in the article by reporter Wyatt Dixon. According to Dixon, Musk cherishes the morning time because this is the time when he come up with game-changing ideas of technologies. He keeps a notebook with him on which he writes them all down.
The South African-born founder of Tesla and Space-X and the co-founder of PayPal is never late to work as he prefers leaving for his work by strictly 8am in the morning. His crazy 100 hours per week is founded on this early and fast morning routine with minimum activities. He also appears in three different workplaces every week. Thus, his morning routine is rarely changed because he has to visit Space-X design labs twice a week, The Tesla office at Bay Area twice a week and the main office at LA. His morning routine as well as daily and weekly routine is as rigorous and carefully designed as his ideas and innovations. As his investments and technologies lie on him being able to find the best solutions out of limited resources, he never puts too many activities in the morning.
No wonder he is able to work almost 100 hours a day because he is focused on efficiency and perfection. Other than spending time with his family during the weekends, Elon Musk rarely involves himself in recreational activities.
He is always focused on his passion for science and innovation and he believes he can change the world. If you are one of them who are determined to revolutionize the world, then HE is your ideal example.
