For Elon Musk, that's scheduling his entire day in five-minute blocks -- that way, he'll get the most out of every second. Mark Zuckerberg likes to wear the same shirt, pants and sweatshirt every day, minimizing choices so he can focus on larger tasks.

Along with reading, exercise is another important way to boost productivity and creativity. Virgin Group founder Richard Branson wakes up at 5 a.m. to swim, kite surf or play tennis. Shark Tank investor and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban does an hour of cardio six to seven days a week to stay on track.
