The 5-Hour Rule
T H E C O N C E P T I S W O N D E R F U L L Y S I M P L E !
2. No matter how busy successful people
are, they always spend at least an hour
a day (thus five hours a week) learning
or practicing. And they do this across
their entire career.
3. Barack Obama is far from the only leader to credit his
success to reading.
Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, Elon Musk, Mark
Cuban and Jack Ma are all voracious readers.
Read
Besides expanding your knowledge,
reading can give you a good head start;
this is often what your peers cannot
obtain.
4. Pick an interesting
book
Read for at least
20 to 30 minutes
Even if you can't commit to an hour or more of reading every
day, start with 20 to 30 minutes.
5. Reflect
The five-hour rule also includes
reflecting and thinking. This could be
just staring at the wall or jotting down
your thoughts and goals.
6. Learn from
your mistakes
Focusing on the past gives you a
chance to learn from mistakes
you've made, as well as assess
what you did correctly. As a
result, you’ll be better suited to
achieve your goals and improve
your life.
