The simple trick helps Elon Musk work 100 hours a week

Referring to 'tech village monster' Elon Musk, we will have a lot to say. Technology billionaires now have to balance the time to manage their two companies, Telsa and SpaceX. The busy schedule made him always travel back and forth between Los Angeles (SpaceX's headquarters) and Bay Area (Telsa's headquarters).

According to The Independent, Musk spends about 85 to 100 hours of work each week. Sharing with Y Combinator, Musk also said he spends about 80% of his time managing technical and design-related tasks.

How does 'real-life Iron Man' complete everything?

Breaking the daily timetable into smaller spaces increases labor productivity many times.

Inc. sheet revealed, Elon Musk often missed phone calls, avoiding the trouble of handling email and sleeping about 6 hours per night.

Moreover, Musk has a special strategy to manage his time fund: He divides the entire time of the day into intervals every 5 minutes . He even ate lunch for only 5 minutes or less, usually having lunch at the meeting.

Journalist Stephanie Vozza once wrote on Fast Company that breaking up the daily schedule into smaller spaces helps increase labor productivity many times. It seems that 5 minutes may not be enough to do anything, but practicing this habit often helps Musk stay focused during a busy long day and make sure that there is no minute in time. His time goes by in vain.

At the same time, this habit also helps CEO of SpaceX and Telsa always try to create and increase their productivity.

'My best advice for all of you is: Think about how you can do things better and ask yourself questions,' Musk said in Mashable in 2012.
