How The &%$& Do I Get Everything Done (Elon Musk´s Own Strategy)
Best productivity advice I learned from the master himself: Elon Musk. Crazy, right?
Elon was obsessed with building the machine that builds the machine.
He said, “It’s not the product that leads to success. It’s the ability to make the product efficiently. It’s about building the machine that builds the machine. In other words, how do you design the factory?”
This hit me.
And it should have hit you too.
As a creative entrepreneur, I know the importance of weighing my commitments, and most of all, the value inside the mechanism, the processes that built up my unique creation and diffusion systems.
Elon is so obsessed over quality.
Quality leads to results, right? Great ones.
But are those the right ones?
That´s the machine you should build. The machine that takes care of itself.
The machine that makes the right systems.
The one that can channel any vision you want it to: your brand, projects, life, relationship, etc.
You can´t win against a system that´s broken. You´ll never get anywhere near your final goal.
You´ll do work that can seem good enough, yet not meaningful enough to continue long years down the game you are playing.
Called it business, call it personal development, call it enjoying the passage of time.
Your machine is built out of systems, and as Elon says: you must find the right tools and mechanisms that allow it to perform at its best for years to come.
Which is the “machine” you are trying to build?
Is it a new workout routine you are trying?
Is it a big design project that you are aiming to start?
Is it developing healthier and enhanced studying habits?
All of them have one thing in common: the quality you obsess with giving them.
You can plan the best workout that will get you from feeling ashamed of your condition to feeling proud again.
Yet if that workout, if those habits aren´t stacking the way they should… you´ll potentially risking yourself to failure.
Build each habit. Designed it until it challenges failure. Master it.
Focus on that relentless improvement and over time you´ll have an unstoppable “machine” capable of sustaining itself and renovating each time necessary.
There´s no better pathway to victory than that one. Is it?
Building the “machine” behind my brand hasn´t been easy. Yet it has allowed me to allocate my time, resources, and focus to the areas that matter the most.
Knowing the course will keep its aim towards what matters most: the vision and culture I aim for.
Ponder this question, and keep it closely to yourself at all times: which are the small fixes you can make today, that will make your life flow like a good, all-favorite song?
Flow will let you be in control.
It will let you be energized.
It will allow you to have focus and strength in everything you do.
Build a “machine” that builds the machine.

💭 The Lonely Reflection
Uproot lies, sow truths.
Let all that flow.
Let what you did not consider beautiful come to life.
Embrace its depths, let its currents guide you,
but don't lose your boat while you sail far.
