Keith Rabois tells the story of Elon Musk observing interns waiting in line for coffee at SpaceX Elon Musk moves faster, executes harder, and accomplishes more than most people. Hereโs how: 1. Focus on Outcomes, Not Effort Most people go through the week busy but not productive. Elon doesnโt ask, โWhat did I work on?โ He asks, โWhat did I finish?โ He pushes himself and his teams to complete real work every week. Small wins stack up. Over time, they become unstoppable progress. 2. Cut Wasted TimeโRuthlessly At SpaceX, Elon saw interns wasting time in a coffee line. His response? A company-wide memo: "If you have nothing better to do than wait in line, youโre at the wrong company." Then he installed cameras to eliminate delays. His mindset? Every minute must count. 3. Shrink the Timeline PayPal cofounder Max Levchin taught: "Work expands to fill the time you give it." If you give a team a month, theyโll take a month. If you give them a week, theyโll deliver in a week. Elon compresses time so things move faster. The Playbook: Track what you finish each week. Eliminate inefficiencies immediately. Set shorter deadlinesโspeed forces results. Most people let time slip away. Elon controls it. Thatโs why he builds rockets while others send emails.
