It is no secret that Elon Musk has an insane work schedule working more than double the hours of the average full-time worker. - And you know now I'm kinda in the 80 to 90, which is more manageable but you know that if you divide that by two it's only like you know maybe 45 hours per company which is not much if your world has a lot of things going on. - [Interviewer] You're like a slacker. - (laughs) Yeah. - And that time is split between many different projects, most of it goes to his main companies Tesla, and Space X. But he also spends time on things like The Boring Company, and open AI and of course making flamethrowers. Add to that the fact that according to Ashlee Vance's biography on him, he spends four days a week with his five children. And you've got what his possibly one of the busiest and most hectic daily schedules of anybody on this planet. Now in contrast to the video that I did about Ben Franklin just a few months ago with Elon Musk we don't have a source that gives us a super granular look at his daily schedule other than a few tidbits that he's revealed in interviews such as the fact that he spends about 80% of his time on design and engineering despite what most people might think. - I think most people think I must spend a lot of time with media or on business-y things but almost all of my time- like 80% of it is spent on engineering and design. - But what we do know about is the method that he uses to keep his schedule organized and to plan out his day. Musk actually plans out his day in five minute increments, and has everything pre-planned in advance. This is a technique called time boxing, and it's actually used by lots of other people including Bill Gates and Cal Newport. Though Cal calls it time blocking. Essentially time boxing or time blocking if you want to call it that or heck: time bloxing, I'm not gonna stop ya, is the practice of setting fixed amount of time for each task that you have to do and integrating those blocks of time into your daily schedule. I use this technique a lot with my own work and because people like Musk, Bill Gates, and Cal Newport, and many others find it so useful, today I wanted to break down exactly how you can use time boxing most effectively in your own work. So let's start with the obvious question, why use this technique? Why time box your schedule? And I know there's going to be critics of this technique right off the bat who are going to say scheduling your entire day in advance basically makes you a robot, dude, why would you wanna do that? And I gotta say, number one, you humans- I mean we humans really give...
