Elon Musk’s Crazy Daily Routines 😳💥#elonmusk

Elon Musk has a crazy daily routine, and I thought it'd be really interesting to share it with you. I've been studying the successful traits and habits and routines of the most successful people alive or dead, past, present, for 16 years, something like that. Let's be honest, if you have a good day, then that gives you great momentum. If you're productive and effective and efficient, that makes you feel good. It gives you compounded velocity. You get more done in less time. You have a better balance of life. You have better energy, passion, enthusiasm, drive. But I'm sure you'll agree there's distractions, complaints, energy drains, procrastination, all other people's emergencies, nonsense, minutiae, admin bullshit, debates, discussions, arguments, rants, and all other, um, stuff that the world is throwing at you that just makes you feel overwhelmed And what I generally find is if you have a good start to the day and you get some meaningful tasks done early, then you get good momentum for the rest of the day. So I'm going to cover two things for you, and I'm going to go quite deep on this. It won't be too long, but I will be going quite deep on this. Number one is I'm going to share with you Elon Musk's crazy routine. I have been studying successful entrepreneurs and people in life in general for 16 years, and Elon Musk's probably got the most insane routine ever. And I just thought it'd be a bit of fun to share that with you. That's the first thing I'm going to do. And then I'm going to share with you, um, 6 habits collated of many successful people across all walks of life when it comes to having an effective and efficient routine. Okay, so if you're ready, let's do this. Make sure you're following me on whatever channel you're on, and please, if you find this useful, do share, because if we're all more effective, more productive, more efficient, and we all get more done, we're all going to make more money, we're all going to be happier on social media, we're all going to have a better life balance, So sharing is caring. Okay, right, so I want to credit Luxury Zone on YouTube because they've done a lot of research on Elon Musk's routine, and I use them as one of my major sources of research. That's Luxury Zone on YouTube, give them a good shout out. Okay, so Elon Musk runs 5 companies and has 6 kids. So I just want to say one thing, and I say this with kindness, but I have to be honest. People who, you know, I've got a kid, I've got two kids, I'm really busy, I haven't got much time, there's not enough hours in a day, I wish I had an extra day in the week— you can't really talk. It's not about what happens to you, it's about how you deal with it. It's not about how much you have to do, it's how productive, effective, and efficient you are with it. And Elon Musk runs 5 companies and has 6 kids. Now look, it probably is different for mums As it is dads, I do honor and respect that. I have a lot of moms that I mentor. We'll talk about that another time though, maybe specifically for moms. But Elon Musk's daily routine is mad and crazy. He has 5 companies, 6 kids, and his routine is not for everyone. I just want to warn you, but I think it's good to model it, or at least to observe it. And look, do you want to be a disruptive entrepreneur that changes the world? Do you want to build a billion-dollar enterprise? Do you want to help millions or billions of people, or do you just want a bit of a healthy life balance? I would say if you want the former and you want to change the world, listen to part 1 of this content where I'm going to reveal Elon Musk's crazy routine. If you want a bit of more life balance, then, um, the second part will be useful for you. Also, make sure you stay to the end because I have got a gift for you, and it's about routines and habits of the most successful people. So he runs 5 companies, he has 6 kids, He gets 6 hours sleep a day. I believe you should test your optimum sleep, but interestingly, Elon Musk gets about 6 hours. He reckons that's optimum. He's tried less, um, but it hasn't worked for him. And he goes to bed just after midnight and gets up just before 7 AM, give or take. So I found that interesting. I need a bit more sleep, but you know, you've got to test your own. I've got a gift for you in a moment about that. Next thing is he skips breakfast. This is also interesting. I know this intermittent fasting is becoming a big thing and lots of people swear by it. Um, I have breakfast quite late, um, but I like to get probably from sort of 6, 7 PM till maybe 7, 8 AM. So what's that, about 12 hours as an intermittent fast? I'm testing it. It's quite new research, but it seems to be quite popular at the moment. Okay, next thing is he gets all of his urgent emails done 30 minutes before work. Which again I find interesting. And I think the reason he does that is because he wants to make sure that important things, urgent things, things that he could be a bottleneck to, they're done early. I really believe you need to get a productive task done early. And so 30 minutes before work, all the urgent emails, stuff that, you know, maybe other people are waiting on that he has to decide, is good because you can kind of get that out of the cloud of your brain and the overwhelm. And you can set the day up well. Next thing he does is he actually drops his kids off to school. So I know some people, you know, say or find it hard or make an excuse around being an entrepreneur with kids, but he drops his kids off to school. Imagine being one of the parents at Elon Musk's school. Oh, there's Elon Musk just dropping his kids off to school. I'm shit in his Tesla. Um, but I just found that interesting. I think that's a really nice thing. You know, I try and drop my kids off to school when I can. My wife does it mostly, but you could play some personal development audio in the car and raise your kids listening to healthy personal development and positivity. My daughter and I, we recite quotes when we're in the car together. So I'll say, 'If you don't risk anything,' she'll say, 'You risk everything.' I'll say, 'When all is said and done,' she'll say, 'More is said than done.' Um, so, you know, time with the kids in the car, maybe giving them some entrepreneurial time, I think it's a really great thing. Or just chatting with them and having fun with them, of course. Okay, Elon Musk works 85 hours a week. 85+ hours a week. Um, now I'm not recommending that. Uh, I, I do actually work quite a lot. Here's what I've seen though with people who work a lot, like who change the world, who are big entrepreneurs and make a difference. It's kind of also a passion for them. So, you know, people say love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life. Well, that's true and that's not true. That's true because if work isn't work and work is what you would do anyway, it's not really work. But even if it's a passion, it's still hard and it's still work and it's still sometimes a grind. And, you know, Elon Musk says, you know, trying to build rockets and make electric cars is really hard. So I think, look, if you are a bit of a workaholic or if you want to get more done, merge your passion with your profession and make sure that the job you're doing is something that you love. And then I think that's the best trade-off. I am an entrepreneur. I love helping people start and scale their business, get better financial knowledge. I know if there were no such thing as money and we all just got given credits, it would be what I'd be doing anyway. It'd be what I'd be talking about on social media and Clubhouse and Facebook and TikTok. Tok. So, um, I think that— that— I'm not saying to people work 85 hours a week. I'm saying Elon Musk works 85 hours a week, but he's doing something that he finds meaningful, and he probably doesn't see it all as work. Okay, next thing. This is interesting. Elon Musk, 80% of his time is designing, and 20% of his time is in meetings. Now, I wonder if that's changed a bit as he's built 5 companies and, you know, worth $200-odd billion, but he still does what he did. He was initially a designer, and he still does a lot of that. And my lesson from that is make sure you know your key result areas. Make sure that you're focused on the things that made you what you are, and don't get too distracted by meetings and distractions and spreading yourself too thin. I found that really interesting. He doesn't like the phone, but he loves email. So he communicates a lot by email and doesn't like the phone. I think the phone can get really time-draining and people can take much longer than you need. Let's be honest though, sometimes email is a bit also overwhelming, and sometimes just a 10-minute call in the car or by net timing can be really beneficial. But Elon Musk likes email, I think, because it's quick, effective, and efficient. Um, this is really interesting about Elon Musk. Most people, when they do diary appointments, they're like, by the hour. 'Oh, 9 to 10, 10 to 11, 11 to 12.' Elon Musk books 5-minute segments in his diary. And I have seen this as a commonality of billionaires and really productive people. They, they chunk in 5 or 15-minute segments in their diary so they can get way more done. They can cut out the small talk, cut out the minutiae, the distraction. Bish, bash, bosh. Um, I actually am friends with someone who's friends with Elon Musk and spent a lot of time with him. And apparently all day, every day, Elon Musk is just fired. Problem, problem, problem, problem, problem. And he's like, right, what's the problem? Is that the problem? Okay, here's the solution. What's the solution? Go next. Problem, problem. Is that the problem? Good, here's the solution. What's the solution? Next. Pretty intense, but you know, if you want to change the world and you want to get a lot more done, book shorter time segments in your diary and you'll find that there's a lot less overwhelm, distraction, minutiae, and small talk. By the way, if you're finding this useful, make sure you're following me and please hit the share button. You know, I don't sell enough. I'm always told that. I love selling, and hey look, I've got plenty of shit you can buy, but I don't sell enough. But if there is any way that you'd like to give back, if you find my content useful, sharing my content, and that's a good way to do it. You know, people like Elon Musk are unicorns, and there's so much to be learned from people like him, and I think we shouldn't waste that opportunity. I always, um, share what I've learned from billionaires. I've interviewed 16 billionaires, I've researched hundreds of them. But it doesn't mean you have to want to be a billionaire, it just means you can nick their best traits, model the traits of the greats. So you don't have to want to be Elon Musk, but pick the best bits that will work for you in your life. You're smart enough to know what's relevant for you and not relevant for you. Okay, this is something interesting that he does. Is he day chunks. So you can chunk by day or you can chunk by task. So chunking by task is doing anything and everything through the day. Chunking by day is you do SpaceX on a Monday, Tesla on a Friday. Um, he's got a solar company as well, hasn't he? So what he does is Monday, Friday, and Saturday are at SpaceX and the other days are at Tesla. So he breaks his days down by company as opposed to a bit of Tesla, a bit of SpaceX, a bit of solar, and a bit of whatever in the day. Interestingly, I do the opposite, but that's just a favorite thing. Maybe that's right, maybe that's wrong. I think you should test. But if you run more than one company or do more than one thing, you can chunk it down by day like Elon Musk does, spending Monday and Friday and Saturday on SpaceX and the rest of the time at Tesla. Okay, next then is he only has a 5-minute lunch and he has it in between meetings. So I guess he sees that, you know, doesn't need an hour lunch because he wants to be super productive and effective. But then again, he works 85 hours a week and that's not for everyone. But I think when you're doing what you love and loving what you do, you don't need to have big long lunch breaks away from it. I find that only people who don't really enjoy their work need long breaks. Um, next thing then is he does a lot of networking at dinners. In the evenings, so that's where he gets a lot of his networking done. He also likes to read in the evenings. He works out twice a week, and then he has half of Saturday and the rest of Sunday with his kids, and he likes to play video games and watch movies. So let me just summarize then what Elon Musk's daily routine looks like. Pick the bits you like, don't, you know, don't assume everything. So for example, I need 7.5 hours sleep, I can't do 6. I'd love to be able to do 6, but I just can't. And then I'm going to do 6 effective habits of the most successful people across all industries, not just entrepreneurs, collated. And then I've got a special gift for you. Okay, so Elon Musk's daily routine. He runs 5 companies, he has 6 kids. It's not for everyone. He gets 6 hours sleep. He goes to bed around midnight, he gets up around 7. He skips breakfast, I guess through intermittent fasting and just time leverage. He does 30 minutes of urgent emails before he goes to work to get rid of all the big frogs and eat the elephant and, you know, get the friction removed from the day and be productive early. He drops his kids to school himself. He works 85+ hours a week. He loves what he does and does what he loves, but he says it is hard running big companies. He does 80% design and 20% meetings. He doesn't like phone and he uses email. He diary chunks in 5 minutes. I think that's one of the biggest lessons. Um, Monday, Friday, and Saturday works on SpaceX, the rest of the time on Tesla. He has 5-minute lunches in between meetings. He does networking and dinners and meetings of, you know, all of his demands in the evenings. He works out twice a week. He has half of Saturday and Sunday off, and he plays with his kids then, and he does video games and watches movies with them. Okay, now that's Elon Musk, crazy dude. Done. Now, I've been studying the routines of the most successful people on the planet for probably 16 years, and it's evolved actually because there's things like cold showers and intermittent fasting and long walks. And things like that that recent research has shown to be very useful. So what I'll do is I will share the collated routines of the most successful people. These are sports people, media people, younger successful entrepreneurs, scientists, researchers, billionaires, people who own big companies, you name it. And then I've got a special gift bonus for you at the end, so make sure you stay. All right, number 1 then is successful people usually get up early, but in nearly all instances get up at the same time. So that's a big distinction. Now, some arty creative types get up late but work late, but most hyper-successful people do get up early. And more importantly than early is they get up at the same time every day, because what a lot of people do is they get up early in the week and then they have massive lay-ins at the weekends. It ruins their circadian rhythm, it ruins their sleep sleep. Getting up at the same time every day and going to bed at the same time every day is a habit and hack of successful people who don't struggle with sleep, who don't struggle with energy. Okay, number 2: drinking water a lot. I know that this seems like a silly little thing, but it's not. And especially immediately when they get up, and especially before you drink coffee, because coffee actually is a diuretic. So get up earlier, at the same time immediately drink a decent amount of water, probably um, you know, half a liter or a pint. Next thing is meditation or visualization or calming of the mind of some degree. So everyone seems to be a bit different on this, whether it's incantations, visualizations, meditations, but generally they'll do something to clear and calm the mind to prepare themselves for the day. Next thing, number 4, that is exercise. Now not everyone does their workout in the morning And not everyone's workout is hardcore weights. Some people go for a walk, some people do cardio, some people do weights, some people do do their workout later. People who do their workouts really late generally tend to fuck up their routine. It's generally not healthy if it's really late because obviously then you've got all the endorphins and the testosterone flowing through your body, and you don't want that late at night. So if you can get in some exercise quite early, you get your endorphin rush um, through the day, so it gives you energy to move through the day. Number 5, and this is common with Elon Musk, they get something productive done early. If you start your day and get a couple of productive things done early, that gives you momentum and compounding, and you feel good, and you've got this flow in the day. Whereas if you spend the first 2 or 3 hours fighting the day and wrestling the day, it tends to ruin the rest of the day. That's why there was that famous speech on the guy who talked about making your bed first thing. Control that first 10-15 minutes of the day. Make your bed, be in control, control that day early. Really important. And then the next thing is gratitude. So in nearly all cases of very successful people, they have a practice of gratitude, whether that's they do a visualization of gratitude or they journal and, you know, write down the things that they're grateful for. But definitely more and more now successful people practice gratitude. I'm gonna add in cold showers because cold showers has been a game changer for me. Um, the technique that, um, has been researched in recent times is hot, cold, hot, cold. Hot 2 minutes, cold 1. Hot 1 minute, cold 1. It's a complete game changer for my sort of energy and how I feel through the day. Also doing challenging things. And, you know, a lot of people avoid discomfort and things that are challenging, but if you face challenging things— like my friend Jay Alderton, he goes down to the sea because he lives near the sea, and he does burpees in the sea, you know, and it's like 2 degrees and he's doing burpees in the sea. And he says, like, that is a hard thing to do. And so I know for the rest of the day it's not going to be that hard because I've already got in the sea just in a pair of shorts and and done burpees. So doing an Eat That Frog, fairly chunky task in the morning— cold showers can be a two-in-one because a lot of people don't like cold showers. Now, by the way, start your cold showers for 5 seconds, then 10 seconds, then 15 seconds, and build it up from there. Okay, quick summary. Please share this content if you think that it's useful, and then I've got a gift for you. So over 16 years of study and research The successful morning routines of the most successful people that I've studied and I've met generally tend to be— and we all have our own isms— number 1, usually get up early but always at the same time, even weekends. Number 2, drink a lot of water and immediately when they get up. Number 3, meditate or visualize or some kind of mind-clearing exercise in the morning. Some people read personal development, for example. Next one is exercise. It doesn't have to be early, but it usually is. Of course, you've got your endorphin rush for the day. Next one after that is get a productive task done early. Eat that frog. That's really important just to set the idea, to own the day basically. And then there's some kind of practice of gratitude. Um, and I'm finding breathwork and, um, cold showers is a big addition. So I studied a bit of Wim Hof and do the, the breathwork techniques— breathe in hard, breathe out hard 20 to 30 times, and then hold my breath for as long as I can without killing myself. And cold showers— I added those into my morning routines and they're making a huge difference in my day. So thanks for tuning in. I have a gift for you now, as I promised. So, um, I'm a published author of 18 books. I'm published with one of the top 2 publishers in the world. But I did a cheeky book where I didn't publish it with my publishers. So when I publish with my publishers, I can't give the book away because obviously I'm just costing them money. But I did actually, um, publish a book called Routine Equals Results, a short but powerful book on creating your ideal routine to win the day. Um, and I, I didn't publish it with my publisher, it's self-published. And because of that, I'm going to give you a gift of that book for free. And the reason I can do that is because I am self-published on that book and not published by my publisher. So here's what you need to do. Go to robmoore.com/mmm. Rob Moore.com/mmm. And what you're going to get there is a PDF copy of my book Routine Equals Results. I've sold tens of thousands of them, but you're going to get it for free. Reason being is I've just done this piece of content on Elon Musk's routine and effective daily routines, and I thought that would be the perfect gift to give away. It will be a PDF version, obviously. I'm not going to give you a physical version, you pay for that. But that book is a practical and tactical guide on how to create your ideal routine. You should take a bit of Elon Musk's, you should take maybe a bit of what I've suggested, take a bit of successful people, but you should also test your own. So some people have arty, arty, artistic circadian rhythms, and so that means they work better late at night. You know, entrepreneurs tend to work and get up at 5 AM. I get up at 5 AM. The point is you need to test the ideal routine for you. You need to know your key result areas. Your income-generating tasks, your key life areas, the, um, tasks that are most productive, effective, and efficient for you, your highs and lows and ebbs and flows of energy in the day. And all of us have got different versions of that. So if you go to robmoore.com/mmm— that's my name, robmoore.com/mmm— I'm going to give you a PDF copy of that book completely for free. Now that will cost me thousands of pounds because I would have got the sales of that book, but I just thought it was a perfect gift to give away in light of me sharing you Elon Musk's crazy daily routine and then the morning routines of the most successful people. I've been doing 16 years research on this, by the way. I haven't just churned this out and copied this off someone. I've done a lot of research. You'll also notice if you go to robmoore.com/mm, on that page it doesn't even say that you're getting Routine Equals Results. I'm giving that to you as an extra gift. It will be, um, sent to you in a thank you email. But also you'll get interviews with 16 billionaires that I've done. You'll get access to over 200 pieces of money-related content. For example, my 17 Habits of Billionaires research project that I did. Increase Your Fees with Ease, it's a book I'm writing that you'll get a PDF version of for free. When I finished it, and many other pieces of content on basically life hacking, you know, starting and scaling your business and making more money. And that's all at robmoore.com/mmm. I've put the link in the comments on the Facebook Live. You'll have to go there yourself on the TikTok Live. robmoore.com/mmm. I wanted to leave you with some gifts to make sure that, um, you can continue your education because You can watch Facebook Lives and you can listen to Clubhouse rooms, and like a butterfly, the content could come in your ear and you go, oh, that's good, and then it can fly away and you don't do anything with it. So I always believe when you listen or learn to something, you need to immediately go and do and take an action. So go to robmoore.com/mm. The book is called Routine Equals Results. Now, if you want the paperback version, of course you can get that on Amazon, but I'm going to give you the PDF version. There's work logs in there. It talks you through how to do a 30-day test. So what you do, you know, if you wanted to know your circadian rhythm or you wanted to know your, uh, from your blood the, the allergies you might have, you would do a test. And so what we do in this daily routines book, Routine Equals Results, is we do a 30-day test where you basically just keep a work log for 30 days and I send you that work log and you track what you're doing, when you do it, and when you're productive and when you're not, and when you distract yourself and when you don't. And based on that, you then design your own perfect ideal routine, because some of you aren't going to work 85 hours a week like Elon Musk. Some of you need to go to bed before midnight. Some of you like phone and not email. So the key is to get your ideal routine based on the routines of successful people. So go to robmoore.com www.matt-cochrane.com/mmminutenow.
