Elon Musk Is Wrong. You Also Need To Take Breaks

Breaks will improve your productivity

There is a lot of talk about hard work from entrepreneurs like Elon Musk, Gary Vaynerchuck, Grant Cardone, and many others. In the hustle culture, the only way to succeed is to sacrifice everything for your goals. Health, friendships, and hobbies all need to go away to make space for what is really important, your success.

I don’t think that working all day for years is the key to happiness and fulfillment. You are constantly running, most likely without enjoying the process.

You can enjoy your life while building your career. There are people like Max Hertan who earned $15.000.000 over the course of 12 months. Additionally, there are studies showing the benefits of taking breaks for productivity.

You can find a sweet spot between work and enjoying your life

Enjoy the process not the outcome

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate what Elon managed to do for humanity, it’s extraordinary, but I don’t think that his way of living will work for everyone.

There is a lot of beauty in this world, and ignoring everything and simply focusing on becoming successful will make you lose interest in things that could be important to you.

According to one of the longest psychological studies ever conducted the quality of relationships with people who matter to you is the most significant predictor of your happiness.

This might be common sense for some of you, as we hear all the time from old persons that are on their deathbed that they regret not spending more time with their family and friends, not at their job.

Nevertheless, in our youth when time seems unlimited and possibilities are endless, we seem to forget this, and we chase artificially constructed meaningless things.

An estimated 26% of Americans ages 18 and older (about 1 in 4 adults) suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.

More and more people feel like they are lost, that there isn’t any purpose for us, and that life is bleak and meaningless.

That’s why techniques like mindfulness work so well. It helps people reconnect with the present moment, where the beauty of life can be found.

I believe that deep work is important, but it is just as important to enjoy your life, relax, play, and spend time with your friends and family.

You will have your success, and you will also have people around you to celebrate your success with.
