A businessman works twice as much as an average American. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, on average, people aged 25-45 years in the US work 6.3 hours a day or 8.8 hours without taking into account the weekend. In turn, Mask spends on work about 12 hours every day without days off. The free time of the founder of Tesla and SpaceX is 5.9 hours, while the average American has 9.9 hours. Caffeine The businessman reduced his working week from 100 hours at the time of the start-up of the companies to 80-90 hours. To maintain this pace, Mask uses beverages with high caffeine content. Initially, the head of Tesla drank eight cans of dietary Coca-Cola and several large cups of coffee a day. "I was so overexcited that I seriously began to feel that I was losing peripheral vision," said Musk in an interview with the publishing house Inc. in 2007. Now in the office of the businessman there is a dietary Coca-Cola without caffeine. Sleep Working almost without sleep, Mask found that reducing the hours allocated for rest adversely affects the number of cases performed during the day. He found out that his sleep rate is from 6 to 6.5 hours a day: Mask wakes up at 7 am, and lies down after one o'clock in the morning. A businessman tries to follow the recommendations of the National Sleep Foundation, adhering to the most suitable range for rest. Mask admits that his mood deteriorates sharply in case of lack of sleep or the wrong distribution of hours of sleep. Working hours At least 90% of his time, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX spends on these two companies. The remaining 10% he pays to enterprises in which he is represented as an investor, co-founder or executive director. In 2013, Mask told me that he spent Monday at SpaceX in Los Angeles, on Tuesday evening he went to Tesla in Palo Alto, where he worked Wednesday and Thursday, and then returned to Los Angeles to spare SpaceX time on Friday and weekends. Saturday and Sunday were sometimes shared with Tesla. June 6, 2017, the businessman said that he had more time to take out the manufacturer of electric cars. Mask called Tesla a magnet, which attracts scandals. Therefore, now the company needs more attention from its founder. Children It's not entirely clear how long Mask spends at home, but his five sons are with their father about four days a week, it follows from Ashley Vance's book Ilon Mask. The boys regularly visit the Tesla and SpaceX factories in California, and once a year travel with their father. "I'm a very good dad. Children spend with me a little over half a week, I give them enough time. I also take them with me when I leave town, "says Musk. Women His relationship with women Mask paid not so much time compared with the work expended on children. After his divorce from Justine Mask in 2008 and the first parting with his second wife, actress Talula Riley, the entrepreneur came up with a plan for a "10-hour meeting." "I think everything is good with the time that I give to business and children, but I'd like to find more time for the dates." I need to find a girlfriend. "That's why I need to carve out some more time. I think maybe even five- Ten hours How much time does a woman want a week? Maybe ten hours? Is it at least? I do not know. " - Ilon Mask He and Riley reconciled and were married in 2013, but then parted ways. Now Musk meets with actress Amber Hurd, and perhaps pays her more than 10 hours a week, notes Quartz. Recreation Previously, the businessman spent leisure hours, "devouring books" one by one, it is said in his biography of the authorship of Vance. Mask spent 10 hours a day reading. Now, according to Quartz, the head of Tesla has switched to more "lazy" leisure, which includes video games, listening to music while traveling by car and sometimes watching movies. "To communicate with children, to see friends. Sometimes I go crazy on Twitter. But usually - a lot of work, "- says Mask. On June 7, the businessman surprised his subscribers with a message, from which it followed that he used wine along with sleeping pills. The record was answered by the president of the start-incubator Y Combinator Sam Altman, who warned Mask that "tweets about Ambien are a dangerous game." "It's only necessary to add a vintage player - and everything is getting good," tried its founder Tesla.
