Even for busy people like Elon Musk *, the universe is no exception.
But how does the
boss of Tesla, Space X & Co.
Manage to manage several companies at the same time and be so successful at the same time?
Timeboxing: This is how the time management method used by Elon Musk works
According to media reports, Elon Musk is said to work 80 to 100 hours a week. Even with this workload, Musk can of course not allow himself to dawdle. That is why he divides his valuable working time into close-knit time blocks.
Timeboxing is the name of this time management method
, which originally comes from software development. A fixed time block ("timebox") in which the task must be completed is provided for each task that arises. CEO Elon Musk takes this method to extremes by dividing his tasks
into five-minute blocks
, reports the British news portal
Independent

While Musk's use of timeboxing sounds extremely ambitious and difficult to plan, it obviously leads to success.
According to experts, this method is also recommendable for employees who do not run corporations.
