Have you ever wondered, 

How is Elon Musk so SUCCESSFUL?

To be honest,

His success is underneath in his work ethic.

Elon Musk works more than 2 times compared to a normal working person.

Where a normal person usually works around 40 hours a week,

Elon Musk works almost 100+ hours per week.

Sometimes it crosses 120+ hours.

Not only he works for longer period of time, 

But also he works smart, hard and effectively.

To achieve this much of work efficiency,

Musk follows a proper daily routine.

Most of our days start after we wake up.

But Musk’s day starts 2 hours before his bedtime the previous night.

At 11 PM at night,

After a long day of hard work,

Elon Musk sits to PLAN his day.

Then after planning his schedule for the next day,

He starts READING books for two hours.

This is where the DIFFERENCE happens.

Most of us don’t even read books at all.

You can say that, “Oh it’s not necessary to only read books for knowledge.”

In some cases, you are right.

But to gain effective knowledge, 

You MUST read books.

Coming back to his daily routine,

After finishing reading books,

Around 1 AM he finally gets some sleep.

He sleeps around 6 hours daily.

According to him, 

It’s very necessary for him to get at least 6 hours of sleep for his productive routine.

If he doesn’t get enough sleep,

He lacks efficiency and his work gets interrupt.

So after completing 6 hours of sleep,

Musk wakes up at 7 AM.

After waking up where most of grabs their phone,

Musk gets straight out of bed and takes a warm shower.

Then he usually skips breakfast and drinks black coffee instead.

But sometimes if he needs breakfast,

He’ll just eat some high protein meal (like egg).

Then he goes straight to the office and works for the entire day.

He works for almost 16+ hours a day.

This is what put him way ahead in life than most people.

He also skips lunch to focus more on deep work.

He also skips unnecessary meetings

While most of us spend our entire day using social media,

Musk uses X (formerly Twitter) while sitting in the washroom.

After entire day of hard work,

He finally gets home and takes proper dinner.

Then at 11 PM he starts planning his day.

So what we could learn is that: 

1. To achieve success, Not only you need to work hard but also smart and effective.

2. You need to have a proper routine which you can easily follow rather than some crazy hectic routine. 

3. You need to avoid unnecessary distraction.

4. You’ll always need to keep learning no matter how much success you have achieved.

5. You must learn to use time properly.

Believe in yourself.

ALL THE BEST.
