It is useless to make a wish that the day be longer than 24 hours. No matter who or what you are, we all get 24 hours. What we need to master is how to master the time.
The more efficient we can get at managing the time, the more productive we can be.
“Some work hard, some work smart and some work long hours. At Amazon, you cannot pick 2 of the 3.” So, I read in an article about the ecommerce giant several months ago. If 2 people are 30 years old and yet one of them seems to be much more productive and efficient than the other, it is because one of them has learnt how to squeeze out maximum returns from her time.
Working smart does not mean you do not still have to work for long hours. If working smart empowers me to get done in 2 hours what others can only get done in 20 hours, think of all the good I would have done if I do not take a break after 2 hours… working on for another 18 hours.
If the laws of the universe or human conditioning (or both) prevents me from getting more than 24 hours a day, I will work smart, work hard and work long hours in order to squeeze out maximum productivity from my days.

- Elon Musk says Apple is indeed building a car, but he is not bothered.
