How to become more productive: non-standard methods, Elon musk, bill gates and Mark Zuckerberg Bashny.Net

Leaders of the largest companies on the planet all the time trying to figure out how to use your time. They are very ambitious and work more than 70 hours a week. But this is sometimes not enough. John Rampton from Entrepreneur tells how three famous businessman cope with the problem of lack of time. They have a rather unusual rule.

 





 

Mark Zuckerberg: in search of simplicityPress has many times talked about how Zuckerberg wears the same gray t-shirts and hoodies every day. It helps him to focus and not spend too much energy thinking about what to wear. But this desire for simplicity also affects other aspects of his daily life.

31-year-old billionaire goes to the office Facebook not on the Audi, like his colleagues at other technology companies, and relatively modest black Acura. Although he recently acquired three more of the property near his home in Palo Alto, his home (a few blocks from the office where he sometimes works 15 hours a day) is quite austere. He refused by weight of extravagantly to focus only on work. He says:

"I feel that not doing your job, if you spend energy on some nonsense or frivolity, instead send it all to create great products and services".

 Bill gates: how to control mail and lifeIn 2006, gates wrote a post that described how is managed with email: it works on three monitors at once. Then he had to answer a hundred emails a day. Today, that number is clearly greater. So, on a single monitor displays all incoming mail, another letter, with which gates is now working, and the third a normal desktop. It provides multitasking, but it helps to concentrate on one thing.

Gates also once a year are satisfied with the famous "week of reflection" — goes to a secluded cabin in the woods, where completely disconnected from the world — reading documents and books. It is the strategy carefully studying companies and organizations, which become its partners, and recalls the past year. This includes the performance to the maximum.

 





 

Elon Musk: multitasking to the limit, 44-year-old Mask three guiding posts (he heads SpaceX, Tesla Motors and SolarCity), five children and a colossal — literally a space — ambitions. How he manages to sleep at least six to six and a half hours a day?

Journalist Max Chafkin in 2007, talking about the Mask, said:

"During the day, Musk relies on two stimulants: caffeine and desire to help humanity colonize Mars."Musk, who divides his normal time between SpaceX and Tesla Motors, also brought the art of multitasking to the limit. He sends letters while viewing the account simultaneously meets and solves business issues on the telephone, and even texting, holding children on knees (this recognition of the audience is very criticized).

Although Musk spends in the office is usually no more than 15 hours, he told me that never stops working. And it is clear: his job requires round the clock attention, so he will inevitably have to do everything at once.

Few of us want to work as much Musk, and few want to lead big companies. But if you learn to do his business faster, you will have more time for what's important to you. published
