Why do you struggle to be productive?
Without even knowing you, I can tell that your answer is a lack of time & energy.

You want to create incredible amounts of wealth and to make consistent progress towards your dreams. But no matter how hard you try, nothing seems to work.

So if you want to become extremely productive, below are several strategies from Elon Musk to help you to work more efficiently. Each of these insights changed my life for the better, and I’m sure they will do the same for you, too.

1. Schedule Your Time

How does one person have enough time to launch rockets into space, build tunnels under Los Angeles, and create one of the most recognizable car brands in the world? By managing it.
If you don’t know how to control your time, you’ll discover that it becomes in control of you. So instead of living each day with a sense of spontaneity, scheduling your tasks is a great way to ensure you can complete all of your work on time.

2. Create Ambitious Targets

If you always stay in your comfort zone, you’ll never know what you’re capable of achieving. So if you want to increase your productivity, you need to expand the limits of what you think is possible. Elon Musk said it best:
“The first step is to establish that something is possible; then probability will occur.”

Incredible productivity is rare. After all, a lot of people in society waste a lot of time at work and then proceed to collect a regular paycheck from their employer.

Don’t get me wrong: there’s nothing bad about someone working a 9–5, merely to put food on the table for their family. I get it. But if you want to be like Elon Musk, and accomplish what most people have never done, you need to think in a different way to the mediocre majority.

Elon Musk once said, “I think it’s possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary.” Without knowing you, I can tell you’re destined to achieve great things in every aspect of your life.

You can be extraordinary. You’re capable of accomplishing a lot more than you think. You can massively improve your work ethic, productivity, and many other things that are vital to creating the future you desire.

All you need to do is identify the habits of people you admire, and implement them into your own life. Because anything you’ve ever wanted is within your reach.
You just need to be willing to work for it.
