The famous entrepreneur Ilon Musk told in an interview about how to distribute his time during the working week. And, according to him, on romantic dates he has no more than 10 hours per week. I wonder how does Amber Heard relate to this?
Ilon Mask runs two giant companies, several other smaller companies, dreams of Mars, brings up five children and manages to find some time for dating, writes Quartz.
Most of the time Mask is engaged in his companies. Before he founded them, his work week was 100 hours, and after that he reduced his work time to 80 hours per week. The secret of rabid performance Ilona is very simple - he drinks a lot of coffee. Musk somehow drank several large cups of coffee a day and 8 cans of Diet Coke.
“I was so agitated that I felt like I was losing my peripheral vision. We now have a decaffeinated Diet Coke in our office, ”Musk says.
Another aspect of Ilona's life is sleep. According to Mask, he found that the less he slept, the less was his performance. The entrepreneur made his schedule in such a way as to go to bed after one o'clock in the morning and wake up around 7 in the morning.
“For me, the norm is 6 hours of sleep. Sleep is really cool. I realized that if I sleep a little, I get angry. I could sleep less, but then I was less productive, as it influenced my psychological activity. ”
Except main projects Tesla and SpaceX, for which Musk spends 90% of working time, he acts as a leader, co-founder or investor in other small companies. His work week looks like this:
"On monday i'm working on SpaceX in los angeles. On Tuesday, I'm flying to the bay area in San Francisco to work on Wednesday Tesla... I'm flying back to Los Angeles on Friday. ”
Tesla Now takes more time, as the company is developing rapidly.
Somewhere in this crazy schedule, Ilon finds time for children. According to biographer Ashley Wenx, who wrote the biography of Mask, Ilon spends hours per day for children up to 4. In addition to regular telephone conversations, Musk goes camping with them with tents. Children also visit his plants in California.
“I'm not a bad father. I spend a little over half a week with my children. Sometimes I just like to walk around the city with them, ”Musk admits.
About his personal life Ilon almost does not tell. Justin Musk, the entrepreneur, divorced his first wife, 2008, and Talula Riley, the second, in 2016, the year. After his divorce from Talula, Musk began to talk about the plan for the 10 watch.
“I think with the time that I dedicate to business and children, everything is fine. True, I also wanted to spend time on dates. Need to find a girlfriend. So I need even more time. I think somewhere 5-10 hours - how much a woman wants to spend time with her man a week? Maybe 10 hours? Is it like some kind of minimum? I don't know, ”said Musk.
Now the entrepreneur spends time - perhaps more than 10 hours a week - with actress Amber Heard. In April of this year, the couple officially confirmed their relationship.
Mask also has a hobby to which he devotes his free time. Video games are a topic that an entrepreneur often writes about in his Twitter. At a meeting of shareholders, he spoke in detail about his hobbies.
“I listen to music in the car. I also watch movies, but now less often. I go out with the kids, see them with friends, business as usual. Sometimes mad at Twitter. But I usually work, ”notes Musk.
Among other things, Ilon acted in films.
