How do guys like Elon Musk work 12 hours a day and not want to kill themselves?

>> No.15499443

If I could work on something that I like, I would probably work on it a lot as well. Once you like it it doesn't count as work anymore. Unless you have to do some repetitive boring shit once in a while, but he probably gives that to other workers.

You're either born that way or you're not. You can discipline yourself to some extent but a lot of it is genetic. On top of very high IQ he's one of those guys that only needs 4 hours sleep per night. If I sleep less than 8 I can't function.

Were there video games you could play for 16 hours straight? My mother had to force me to quit playing because I forgot to eat and sleep back in the day. That's how working feels for these people I guess, it's an addiction.

>> No.15499622

I'm currently working around 14 hours a day. You just get up and work and go back to bed. It's pretty brutal but I've made almost $3000 in 3 days so it can be worth it sometimes. Physically though you can feel yourself just dying the whole time. I can only do it in short bursts before needing a couple days off because I'm ruined. The shortest working day I have is 10 hours so you do some-what get used to it.

>> No.15499901

>>15499395
Easy answer:

There is a HUGE difference between working because you NEED to and working because you WANT to.

Contrary to what most of these “muh its genetics” cucks here think... The EXACT same task is infinitely more engaging, and even fun, when you know you have no obligation to do it. That you can stop at any moment, for any reason, and you’ll be totally fine.

The moment I tell you your livelihood, ability to provide for your family, etc... depend on a task, it becomes leagues worse.

I could tell you to eat ice cream for 12 hours a day, but the knowledge that if you fail to eat it fast enough means you’ll lose everything you worked for completely destroys the almost child-like excitement and eagerness.

Beyond that, the ability to do things other than that which is done out of necessity, allows one to cherry pick exactly what they like most.

It’s not complicated. I guarantee Musk was beyond burnt out at points before he /made it/.

Once you /make it/ there’s really no excuse not to want to maximize your daily output and experiences freely.

I'm finally getting this. Before, I couldn't stand work, because it was some trivial shit I didn't care about other than as a means to put food on the table.

Being the boss is not soul draining like wagecucking is. It's relatively easy to do it 24/7. Plus Elon is rich as fuck, he already travelled everywhere he wants and fucked 10/10 models so these things are boring to him cause he's done it.

If I was 50 and had spent 10 years partying and fucking 10/10 hookers I would also be rather running my own company trying to change the world than sitting on a beach banging 10/10 hookers. That shit gets boring.

Also Elon is very high IQ, which means he'd get bored of sitting on a beach banging hookers even faster than I would.

You need to redefine the idea of work. In reality they're following the path of least resistance for them because they're doing what they enjoy doing. It might seem like work, but it's really more like play. Happiness and personal fulfillment is the priority over money, making the actions taken not a chore. They're done for the actions themselves, not as a means to an end. You do the same thing in a way when smoking weed, or playing video games. Everything is a game. There are important games and unimportant games in the eyes of society, but they're all just games.

Why force yourself to do something you don't actually enjoy?

He spends most of his day telling a small army of trained experts what he wants them to do while being catered to by another small army of personal assistants and professional gofers. He occasionally gets reports from yes-men and a few sheets of heavily cooked numbers to look over for approval.

yes it does if you have high IQ and do it for 10 years in a row.

Elon has so much money, he could literally fuck a 10/10 hookers 5 times a day and still have time to work.

You beta males need to realize that at some point, being on vacation and fucking 10/10 women loses its appeal. Most people will NEVER get enough for it to lose its appeal, but when you have 1bil+ net worth and high IQ, it 100% does after a few years.

They dont actually "work". Or rather its not what a wageslave would call work.

>Work
The work of managing businesses is different to the work of a wageslave. Especially if your businesses are successful.

Think of it this way, outside of 'work' you are just a normal person. At work you are literally treated like a god if you are Elon Musk tier in your industry. The feeling of power over people is incredibly intoxicating.

Also alot are probably on adderall.
