I prefer:
"Work smarter". If other people are putting in a 40 hour week, then you can automate yourself and increase efficiency, then do a 20 hour week and do stuff you want to do rather than must do. In my case that means spending time with my family.
Elon does a miserable job of family by the looks.
- BasDirks 13y agoI don't think it's completely cool to judge someone's family life.
- noir_lord 13y agoWhen that person is suggesting that working 100 hours a week I think having a look at their work/life balance is sensible.
- nakedrobot2 13y agoIt is up to them and the people who they live with, how they want to live their life. Musk, from the sound of it, is not interested in getting home at 6pm and shutting off work. One would assume that the Musk household lives accordingly. There is no need to compare your own family life with what you expect others' family life should look like.
- pavs 13y agoIts not about judging family life. I am ok with people wanting to spend more time their family instead of working 16 hours a day. I am also ok with people spending 16 hours a day working their ass off. But this kind of work habit will affect your personal life, and Elon has already gone through 2 divorces. This is perfectly relevant to the discussion.
- nakedrobot2 13y agoThis will just get you to the same place as everyone else. You have to work smarter AND longer. Unless you want to stay on the same level as everyone else but have more free time. Which is fine! The quote about working 100 hours a week in that case does not apply to you at all. And that's fine too!
