What can we learn from Elon Musk?

To be honest, I kind of hate talking about the guy because when I think about all the shit he’s achieved it makes me feel a little bit pathetic about myself. On the flip side, he’s hugely inspiring. From computerized payments, to renewable energy—to fucking space exploration—Musk is a problem-solving maniac who we can all learn a thing or two (or four!) from.

In this video, we’re taking a look at some of the habits and practices he has in place to optimize his time and efficiency. I’ve picked apart his impressive career and massive achievements, and packaged it all up nicely into four life lessons you can use to improve your life and work habits. It’s already working for me. So, go get ’em.

Timecodes for lessons below.

Life Lesson #1: It’s not about money. It’s about solving problems. 1:53
Life Lesson #2: Optimize ruthlessly for what matters. 4:00
Life Lesson #3: Minimize task switching. 6:20
Life Lesson #4: Go bigger than anyone can possibly comprehend. 8:33

Leave a comment letting me know if there’s anyone in particular you’d like me to do a video like this on and I’ll think about it. In the meantime, subscribe to the channel, like the video, go improve your habits. Then go see if you can build a fucking spaceship 🚀
