Various world personalities apply this basic method of learning in their daily lives.
The five-hour rule is the key to the success shared by various world personalities such as Bill Gates, Barack Obama and Elon Musk, as one of the habits they all have in common is reading.
Michael Simmons, founder of Empact, called it the basic method of learning that people who are always looking to evolve in their lives, and who, despite doing things right, want to do better, stick to it.
This simple rule is that no matter how busy or how many things you have to do, you should always set aside one hour a day (five hours a week) for reading and learning practices.
One of the pioneers of the famous five-hour rule was Benjamin Franklin, the scientist, inventor and founding father of the United States, Simmons notes.
“Throughout Ben Franklin’s adult life, he constantly invested about an hour a day in deliberate learning. I call on Franklin’s five-hour rule: one hour a day every day of the week,” he said. write Simmons.

Bill Gates stated, “Reading is one of the main ways I learn, and it has been since I was a child.” And Obama, for his part, thanked the books for their help in “surviving his presidency.”
