How can some people achieve more in the same number of hours and days?

What do the world’s most successful people have in common regarding organizing their days while being productive? They have complete control over the work they do. Business Optimizer investigates how billionaires achieve their goals and uncovers the startling similarities in their productivity strategies.

Elon Musk is the CEO of both Tesla and SpaceX, while Jack Dorsey is the CEO of Twitter and Square. So, how do millionaire entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey schedule their time?

I’ve always been a fan of various productivity hacks. However, one significant distinction between those millionaire entrepreneurs and average individuals, in my opinion, is how they accomplish their goals.

Elon Musk and his work ethic and Jack Dorsey’s leadership have always impressed me. Likewise, other billionaire entrepreneurs and shareholders, such as Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Warren Buffett, intrigue me.

What if I take all of these millionaires’ productivity suggestions and apply the best work for me? I hypothesized.

As a result, I began researching how each of them handles their time, and the following are Elon Musk’s, Warren Buffett’s, Jeff Bezos’, Mark Zuckerberg’s, and Bill Gates’ five productivity tips:

1. If You Need To Contact Someone, Do So Immediately (Elon Musk)

People must be able to talk honestly and do the right thing. — Elon Musk

A single contributor has to talk to his/her manager, who has to speak to a director, who has to talk to a VP, who has to talk to another VP, who has to talk to a director, who has to talk to a manager, who has to talk to someone performing the actual work. This is foolish. — Tesla CEO Elon Musk

I wholeheartedly agree with Elon. I understood how crucial it is for workers to connect directly with higher management or colleagues without an internal layer.

Not only will you deliver precise thoughts and opinions, but you will also be able to get things moving more quickly and efficiently.

2. Make Snap Decisions (Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos)

Around 70% of the knowledge you wish you had should probably be used to make most judgments.” If you wait for 90%, you’re probably being sluggish in most circumstances. — Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos According to Jeff, making the proper judgment is often less essential than making a rapid decision.

When everything moves quicker than ever, speed is critical to an organization’s progress in today’s culture. However, suppose we worry too much about making the appropriate option. In that case, we will not only postpone but also miss out on the opportunity to learn as rapidly as possible.

Mistakes are unavoidable in life, and we must seek out and learn from them as fast as possible to progress.

3. Try To Do Fewer Things Rather Than More (Warren Buffett)

Figuring out how to accomplish less, not more, is the secret to mastering productivity.

Once you’ve selected your objective, the key is staying motivated and moving forward with as few distractions as possible.

It’s similar to forming habits. You’ll quickly become overwhelmed if you try to create many patterns at once instead of just one or two.

Only one habit, exercising, proved to be beneficial. You might quickly become sidetracked and overwhelmed if you try to accomplish too many tasks at once. — Warren Buffett

My daily to-do list follows the same concept;

I try to limit myself to three essential things every day. You gain clarity and concentrate on the work at hand when you do less; as a result, you will do it faster and more efficiently.

4. Use Meditation To Hone Your Focus (Bill Gates)

Many successful people, such as Bill Gates and Jack Dorsey, include meditation in their daily routines.

One of Bill Gates’s favorite productivity practices is to do this. “It’s a great tool for sharpening my attention.” In 2018, he stated in his Gates Notes blog.

According to one study, mindfulness practices can alter the brain’s structure. For example, it thickens the hippocampus, which controls learning and memory, and several brain areas are involved in emotion control and ego processing.

There were also reductions in the number of brain cells in the amygdala responsible for fear, anxiety, and stress. These alterations corresponded to the individuals’ self-reported stress levels, suggesting that meditation alters the brain and our subjective perceptions and feelings.

“You will never learn to manage your conduct unless you learn to control your thinking.” — Meyer, Joyce.

5. Make Fewer Decisions To Conserve Mental Energy (Mark Zuckerberg)

In every shot of Mark Zuckerberg, I notice him wearing the same t-shirt and pants. “Does he have no sense of style?”

I wondered.

That may be true, but it isn’t why he dresses the same way every day.

After doing some research and watching several of Mark’s interviews, I discovered that he wears the same clothing to work every day because he prefers to use his brainpower on other things rather than choose what to wear every morning.

“I genuinely want to clean my life so that I have to make as little decisions as possible about anything but how to serve this community better.” — Zuckerberg stated

I’m not sure how much brainpower a person has, but I’m confident that if humans make too many decisions in a day, they will get mentally weary.

As the CEO of one of the world’s most successful and prominent corporations, Mark understands the need to conserve as much brainpower as possible to devote his efforts to more significant endeavors.

Closing Thoughts.

There should be no justifications. These productivity hacks are simple enough for anybody to use. I think people don’t do it for various reasons, including a lack of knowledge and laziness.

Keep your schedule simple, prioritize the most critical work first, delegate lower-priority activities, select your optimum setting, and plan your next steps.
