*I think it’s very important to have a feedback loop, where you’re constantly thinking about what you’ve done and how you could be doing it better* such a great quote
1dforeverrlr some people obviously Thrive off of it. Others would feel extremely constraint there's no one-size-fits-all that's why people are free to work for Tesla or to other stuff
Thomas, have you considered making a video focusing on performance anxiety? I often find that procrastination and unproductivity can be linked to this and not to problems with motivation etc.
Such a great video, Tom. Highly recommended to watch! I actually practice most of what you preached without really reflecting on it. I like the whole 'T-shaped' skillset that you mentioned, I am definitely striving to be that person and I won't stop!
I took an entirely different meaning out of “showering”; that he was being sarcastic, and on a deeper level also implying there is no one most important habit, but rather that the key to success is the accumulation of many small 1% habits like showering, brushing teeth, exercising, etc
One of the best videos on youtube, not only because I Love, respect and praise Elon Musk like no one else (I'm actually his biggest fan) but also because of the topic that this video addresses. I think I'm gonna improve like hell from now on after watching this motivational and insightful video. Thanks Thomas Frank, keep up the good work bro, Thumbs Up :)
The answer about shower is not about hygiene, it's because in the shower you have time to think without distractions and interruptions. It's a time for reflection and this releases your brain to soar.
Most definitely. I've felt that recently. Constantly thinking/worrying whenever I look at my phone but when I get in the shower I have space to think: mentally and physically
you know what I watched your video for the first time I added this to my favourites subscribed to you and got your book its amazing you are doing great
I think he answer showering, not because of confidence and optimism, I think he meant showering is his most creative time, I mean in ray Dalio principles he mentions how our unconscious mind is the more creative part of our brain, and he argues that when he is in the shower the best ideas come to his mind due to the fact that is a time were you are unconsciously very focus on your brain.
I would be very interested to learn more about what you've learned about his "intense system of batching tasks." I do this myself and tend to make it up as I go along. I would love to see what someone else does. Thank you!
When he said shower...I thought that he meant his most creative insight occurred in the shower! This is something I've noticed myself...hahahah I guess we'll never know what he meant!
I think you missed the point about showering - it's about having time to think and get your ideas in a row. It has little to do with 'hygiene' , although that's a welcome side effect!
I think the video didn't quite get the point about his answer - shower. Elon uses this time to think /process all information he gathered and in many cases, it is when he showers that he gets "fresh" ideas. He talked about this in one of his interviews :)
My son works at Tesla. Everyone works 13 hour shifts, but there's free fishy crackers and other snacks to help him through it. The worst part though, is they are 40 minutes from town, so he doesn't get much sleep on work days.
Frank can you please do a video on how to get yourself to study when you don't feel like it.. ( i need me a kick in the butte cuz i don't care any more 😒😒 i need help 😤)
He has photographic memory. Whatever he do not know he reads. He remember what he reads. I remember when I was 7 years old. I remember what I read. Just once. Now I read 20 times. Close the book, my mind is blank.we human are not born equal. Among the billion will come a few spread over a period of times, someone special... GIFTED. With special power greater responsibility.
Lol that's so funny you said go to skillshare.com because I just came from there because I felt like majority of courses were too long and super fluffed. Much more interested in your style of video. I'll check out the two you mentioned though.
1: Shower - Dress confidently even if you don't have to 2 Set example for others - set the bar on how hard you want others to work 3: Strech Goal - Aim for a higher goal 4: Develop wide knowledge base - Develop specific knowledge but also try to learn more broad things to help you 5: Always asume you could improve
Bonus lessons! This video was already long enough with 5 lessons, but I originally identified 9 when I was researching the topic. Here's a brief look at the other four: 1. When you hit a roadblock, don't accept the standard solution. Within the aerospace industry, SpaceX has historically been seen as a bunch of "cowboys" for the seemingly haphazard way they approach everything from testing to launches. But this cowboy mentality can work to their advantage. SpaceX engineers are well known for loading new code onto their rockets during launch prep when bugs are found. Other companies would often delay launches by weeks when similar problems cropped up. 2. Make sure you have skin in the game. Part of Elon’s work ethic stems from the fact that he’s personally invested in his projects. While other companies are content to take investor money, Musk’s companies - while also investor and government-backed - got off the ground because Musk himself put his own fortune on the line in order to make them possible. By being personally invested in his companies, Musk knew that their failure would also mean his own financial failure - while he certainly wouldn’t be out on the street, it would at least represent a huge, huge loss. This level of personal commitment evokes the "back against the wall" strategy, which stems from the many historical examples which prove that human beings are much more driven, creative, and productive when they feel that they’re up against a wall; that there’s no way out but to fight through. 3. Work towards something you believe in. The majority of Musk’s work ethic is generated by his conviction that humans need to reach Mars, and to eventually become a multi-planetary society. This huge, audacious goal is what drives Musk - and while many will say it’s impossible, or that it at least won’t happen in Musk’s lifetime, this goal has driven him and the teams at his companies to achieve other things that people thought impossible as well. 4. Break your schedule into small chunks. Musk uses a technique called time-boxing in order to break his day into 5-minute chunks. This allows him to fit in all the responsibilities that come along with running two companies, but time-boxing is a strategy that also creates some pressure - and as you probably know from the last time you procrastinated on an English paper, only to write the whole thing in one glorious, Red Bull-fueled all-nighter, time pressure is a motivating factor.
The first point is soooooooooo accurate when I go to school I dress up and do work and come home feeling great but when I have my off days I don't shower or put anything on and as the day progresses I feel like shit
If you win the morning, you win the day. That’s my best solution for increased productivity. It’s so crucial to start the day off doing something productive cause it’ll fire off a chain reaction.
This is financial advice and I never give financial advice: DONT LEAVE DURING THE BEAR. If you don’t want to invest…learn. If you don’t want to learn…build. If you don’t want to build observe. DO SOMETHING…other than leave. There is so much opportunity here. Take advantage!
I've been reading Elon Musk's biography and I must say... That dude does some incredible things! He's motivating me a lot while I'm going through my college classes.
Within 1:30 min I totally agree with Elon Musk im showering.Literally, when I was in highschool,I showered every morning regardless of people telling my hair would get dry or whatever. I also showered bc I played sports and sometimes would shower 2x a day but still... showering in the morning just made me feel more rejuvinated even when only sleeping like 3 hours of sleep. When I woke up too late to shower,I would just feel so out of it. A shower changed how I felt the whole day. Never underestimate a good, relaxing shower.
1. shower - get ready! 2. set the example- more time on task than anyone else 3. be ambitious and set stretch goals 4. ask questions! and learn as much as possible about everything (yet attain mastery in one area atleast) 5. how can you be more effective?
All motivation , success , miracle daily routine , meditation, silence, affirmation, visualization all are just imaginary world. These are traps. If you want to really great in life , work like Elon musk 100 hour per week honestly. You will famous One day. Motivation-These are temporary, The most powerful secret in success is believe in yourself . You are great. You have all potential inside use it . Take risk. Desire is most powerful in this. What you really want to achieve. Stop watching motivational videos. Do work like Elon Musk. 100 hour per week.
The most important lesson one gets from musk and any other guy who achieved something in his life is STOP TAKING LESSONS FROM OTHER PEOPLE AND WATCH MOTIVATIONAL SHIT AND GO OUT AND ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING. Success is not a science it is the will to persevere and succeed.
Sounds a lot like like Ceaser. Walks with his legions, makes an example by fighting at the front lines, always at the center of all attention, takes himself seriously, takes on seemingly unachievable battles, wide knowledge base of diplomacy and military service, questioning experts and he questioned himself as well. I just read Con Igguldens books on him tho... Mby a little romanticised.
I thought you would mention first principles thinking, since that is a big part of Elon's work ethic. Could you maybe approach that topic in another video? Loved this video anyway!
I actually apply the "growth mindset" for everything in my life, from how to improve my study to how to do dishes or shower in a more efficient way. I just can't help but think about how I can do better. Ps.: Elon is the most awesome guy ever!
In the video, you said that Elon Musk is never satisfied with the outcome of his projects, whether they're successful or not. What mindset do you think he's adopted to use this to his advantage and motivate himself, rather than feeling defeated by it?
I'm currently reading Power of Habits, and Musk's answer about showering sounds like a "key stone habit." A small habit that links to a lot of your other habits.
Dkjr119 I think you can really extrapolate this to morning routines. I know a lot of times the rest of my day can be chaotic and very greatly Dave Idaho if I have a slice of morning that keep consistent as much as I can did not really helps enhance the flow
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done. The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by waiting, they miss out. Hi guys!! Let me just share a quick story with you guys. :) We own a cookie shop business in our college town. When we first started it, we were living in our car with very little direction, just a huge passion to be successful. We just graduated college as well. We started the late night cookie shop out of a local bagel shop in their off hours at night. We were living in our car in the parking lot of the shop at the time with my boyfriend, Bran. It was a crazy experience but it worked! We became a success! And now we have 2 storefront locations in New Jersey and Florida! We started it to fund a year long backpacking trip around the world and to be successful while living the life of our dreams.
I shower to get away from everyone and think. Showers are an amazing place to do math, strategize, reflect, and re-center. Oh, and you come out cleaner if that matters to you lol.
6:55 Musk knowledge is square shaped: he has in-depth knowledge of everything. Climate change, AI, car stuff, space stuff, boring stuff... the list goes on
I've been reading a biography on Steve Jobs and the part about setting unrealistic goals that fall short but still get the most out of employees is exactly the sort of thing Steve Jobs did
Man, I gotta say... This video came at a perfect time for me. The last few months I've been stagnant in my business and life in general. I've been playing tons of video games and not pushing myself like I used to. I randomly saw your video pop up, watched it, and realized all the things I knew but wasn't implementing. I love your channel, Thomas! It's really awesome. You're an inspiration to a lot of people, myself including! Keep up the hard work, man.
1. Take care of your appearance 2. Be an example 3. Stretch goals beyond your capabilities 4. T-knowledge base, expert and broad knowledge in many areas 5. Growth mindset
Very inspiring! I'm a medical student, who wrote a fantasy novel and trying to make a website to market it. The people around me told me to only focus on one thing. Yeah, of course medicine will always be my number one priority in terms of learning, but it's not wrong to learn things beyond your specialty, given that you're able to manage your time.
Could you do a similar video for Gabe Newell or Valve, and their weird hierarchy and work culture? It seems almost opposite of the one described at Tesla or from Elon Musk, and it would be interesting for a compare/contrast follow-up video.
I feel he's just more open about what he's working on then most companies. billionaires are private which creates the illusion he gets a lot more done than others. Germans tend to be secretive and released things when they're absolutely perfect, when Americans make a show of something in development.

unexamined life is not worth living.
#1. He doesnt watch youtube videos about how people get shit done
Truth bruhh😌
Right brother .
Maybe not but he learned it from somewhere
My cousin works for tesla and he absolutely loves the work grind there.
1dforeverrlr some people obviously Thrive off of it. Others would feel extremely constraint there's no one-size-fits-all that's why people are free to work for Tesla or to other stuff
Your cousin is a robot probably lmao..my buddy quit because they dont care if you have covid-19 they'll still work you
Good for him
Thomas, have you considered making a video focusing on performance anxiety? I often find that procrastination and unproductivity can be linked to this and not to problems with motivation etc.
This was a really well made video, especially compared to the usual "top 10 tips from successful people" videos
I also think showering gives your brain a refreshing feeling, thus granting you the opportunity to come up with great ideas.
Such a great video, Tom. Highly recommended to watch! I actually practice most of what you preached without really reflecting on it. I like the whole 'T-shaped' skillset that you mentioned, I am definitely striving to be that person and I won't stop!
The only channel, for which I have notifications ON
Just finished reading the book yesterday. First book after a while, and I must say it was excellent. Highly suggest picking it up!
I took an entirely different meaning out of “showering”; that he was being sarcastic, and on a deeper level also implying there is no one most important habit, but rather that the key to success is the accumulation of many small 1% habits like showering, brushing teeth, exercising, etc
I can’t believe how easily he finessed that skillshare ad into this video 😭 props bro.
elon musk is a goddess
something like that :P
lol
Lol he is
Did you just assume their gender?
Nah, he is Jesus 2.0
One of the best videos on youtube, not only because I Love, respect and praise Elon Musk like no one else (I'm actually his biggest fan) but also because of the topic that this video addresses. I think I'm gonna improve like hell from now on after watching this motivational and insightful video.

This was an excellent video! Thanks so much! 😎👍🏻
@7:15 Love that.... T vs I vs -- shaped knowledge. I'm totally using this. Thanks!

Real solid and focused video. Thanks for the insight.
I think Elon's showering was about that meditative state you achieve when you shower more then actually getting clean.
loved this video. So great. Thank you.
I like your observation skills man
Great jobs, Frank.
great vid thanks Thomas

I have the growth mindset!
1. Bad working conditions
2. Work long hours (12) up to 6 days a week
3. Crackdown on union organization
4. ???
5. "He is so hip and different"
Kommissar Kircheis what?
Thanks for the vid ! Subbed and liked 👍

I am clearly a Dash type person, good in many fields, specialist in none. What tasks/jobs are dash-types most suited for?
ive always needed a man on youtube to use this chance to tell me to shower.
Frank can you please do a video on how to get yourself to study when you don't feel like it.. ( i need me a kick in the butte cuz i don't care any more 😒😒 i need help 😤)
This video made me laugh. I learned and I am smiling. It was a little silly but stayed to the point. Thanks! :D

Nice shoutout to Butch Hartman
I thought I was the crazy but in reality all I need is to work with the right like minded people.
6:50 Musk is the Tesla logo 😱😱😱
He sounds like a super hero
1: Shower - Dress confidently even if you don't have to

Paul Garcia omg thanks.......
I thought this was a troll post based on the first point, until I watched the video lol
Paul Garcia thank you lol 12 mins summed up in a 2 second comment. I'm already being more productive
I was going to add this to my watch later then realised how ironic that would be.
I did that too, but I went to the gym, took a shower and then watched this video, so it's not that bad :D
Ironic only if you had other things you needed to do!
i dont see the irony here... please explain.
Good one
Same
Watching this instead of being productive
If this video doesn't help you being better and growing, you're doing something wrong.
I was worth it if you didn't click on an another video
Power breaks increase overall productivity.
Being productive by replying to this
KingNat ditto.

Thomas Frank These tips are quite insightful too. What about a blog post which goes into great detail, can you do it?
Yese
Thomas ! When are you going to write another book ?
I would like you to explain the stretch goal further; I don't really understand.
I didn't detail these four extra lessons, but I did write a post to go along with the video: collegeinfogeek.com/productivity-lessons-from-elon-musk/
The first point is soooooooooo accurate when I go to school I dress up and do work and come home feeling great but when I have my off days I don't shower or put anything on and as the day progresses I feel like shit
prolly cos everone's roasting you bout having no clothes
If you win the morning, you win the day. That’s my best solution for increased productivity. It’s so crucial to start the day off doing something productive cause it’ll fire off a chain reaction.

Elon Musk invented inventions.
😮
So Elon is Necessity?
no. That's Nikola Tesla himself
Maybe not invented, but definitely exponentially innovated. :-))
Edison... Nicolas Tesla the person not the company... Galileo, newton, the caveman that fashioned the first spear head out of a piece of stone....
very helpful. thanks thomas!
Alan Becker Hi
Yo your cartoons are dope man
whoa, ur animations are amazing
Your animations are great!! You try to do something big bro!! I will be the first to watch! Fan from India
I didnt know you watched Thomas Frank...cool...love your channel btw
I've been reading Elon Musk's biography and I must say... That dude does some incredible things! He's motivating me a lot while I'm going through my college classes.
mynametrong check out what he has to say about college
mynametrong READING. You already got that down!!!
Ahh seriously college 🎓????

so how is your hair now?
See the TED talk: "If you want to change the world, start by making your bed"
thanks
1. shower - get ready!
2. set the example- more time on task than anyone else
3. be ambitious and set stretch goals
4. ask questions! and learn as much as possible about everything (yet attain mastery in one area atleast)
5. how can you be more effective?
Michael Fighter the saviour
All motivation , success , miracle daily routine , meditation, silence, affirmation, visualization all are just imaginary world. These are traps.
If you want to really great in life , work like Elon musk 100 hour per week honestly. You will famous One day.
Motivation-These are temporary,
The most powerful secret in success is believe in yourself . You are great. You have all potential inside use it . Take risk.
Desire is most powerful in this. What you really want to achieve.
Stop watching motivational videos. Do work like Elon Musk. 100 hour per week.

Napoleon too, he was probably the most productive man that ever lived.
I believe he brainstorms and comes up with ideas in the shower
This channel gets me ROCK HARD
Kulvir Singh didditly dooty look at that booty
I agree. He's hot.
Zlipster Royals, THAT'S THE POINT! You're mean!
Uh
Sameee
Elon Musk tries not to elongate his musk by showering every day.
I thought you would mention first principles thinking, since that is a big part of Elon's work ethic. Could you maybe approach that topic in another video?
Loved this video anyway!
Emkip I second this !
I would love to have this explained
I actually apply the "growth mindset" for everything in my life, from how to improve my study to how to do dishes or shower in a more efficient way. I just can't help but think about how I can do better.
Ps.: Elon is the most awesome guy ever!
Hi my name is Elon and I'm dyslexic.
hahahaha took me a second
not everyone can improve in all areas.
Me dying😂😂😂
hahahah
Leon Kuzmin 10/10 😂
In the video, you said that Elon Musk is never satisfied with the outcome of his projects, whether they're successful or not. What mindset do you think he's adopted to use this to his advantage and motivate himself, rather than feeling defeated by it?
Now that's a good question! I have the same doubt
It would seem he is even more disappointed by his competition

Super cool video, I really appreciate the fact that you don't upload like ten videos a week, so that you can focus on fewer, better quality videos.

What is with all these verified youtubers in this comment section 😂
I shower to get away from everyone and think. Showers are an amazing place to do math, strategize, reflect, and re-center. Oh, and you come out cleaner if that matters to you lol.
6:55 Musk knowledge is square shaped: he has in-depth knowledge of everything. Climate change, AI, car stuff, space stuff, boring stuff... the list goes on
You are so incredibly well spoken.
Ayesha Irfan he makes a script thats why it sounds so smooth. He is reading, nevertheless he’s not a bad speaker.
This is so inspiring.
I know, you love Elon Musk too, everyone does.
That was such a suave transition into a promo link. Respect. I'll sign up :)
I've been reading a biography on Steve Jobs and the part about setting unrealistic goals that fall short but still get the most out of employees is exactly the sort of thing Steve Jobs did
Maybe he showers so much because his last name is musk, so people automatically think he might stink
Angela, That's pretty funny. I had a student who I had send to the showers as his BO was really distracting, and not in a good way.
Musk smells nice, so I dunno
This was one of my favourite videos of yours, so much great advice
"When the boss stops rowing, don't be surprised if everyone else rests." -Old saying
Man, I gotta say...
This video came at a perfect time for me. The last few months I've been stagnant in my business and life in general. I've been playing tons of video games and not pushing myself like I used to. I randomly saw your video pop up, watched it, and realized all the things I knew but wasn't implementing.
I love your channel, Thomas! It's really awesome. You're an inspiration to a lot of people, myself including! Keep up the hard work, man.
Anyone here in 2021,after he became Richest man in the world?

Housekeeper is the most ungrateful job ever we never get no recognition were I work
