Napoleon worked for 16 hours every day. 

These are some of his best productivity hacks for elite performance:

- Drink tea for breakfast, next to a fireplace 
- Keep meals short and always make it a work meeting with key people on your team 
- Marry out of obligation, not love 
- Don't be heavily present in your children's life
- Never expect the Russians to be loyal, or the Spanish to be yielding 
- Have a Grande Armée 
- Wake up in the middle of the night just to work, if you feel like it
- Don't forget to also work during passive leisure time, for example when going to the theatre 
- Ride to the sound of the guns: Always move forward with haste, make momentum your number one priority and don't overthink things 
- Always show up, even after being forcefully removed from your work
- Never react with anger when things go wrong: simply accept the new circumstances and adapt accordingly 
- Have a large network of spies, to be informed and ready to stay on top of things.
