Many personalities of the world apply this basic method of learning in their daily lives.
The five-hour rule is the key to 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, the founder of Empact, called the basic learning method that adheres to people who are always trying to evolve in their lives and who, despite doing things well, intend to do better.
This simple rule is that no matter how busy or busy you are, 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, a scientist, inventor and founding father of America, notes Simmons.
“Throughout Ben Franklin’s adult life, he constantly invested about an hour a day in deliberate learning. I call this Franklin’s five-hour rule: one hour a day, every day of the week, “Simmons wrote.

After studying the habit that this illustrious American practiced without fail, Simmons investigated and realized that today great businessmen like Bill Gates, Elon Musk or Warren Buffett have similar habits.
Others who spend their free time learning through the habit of reading are Barack Obama, Elon Musk and Jack Ma.
Millionaires like Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA, and Dan Gilbert, the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, revealed that they read between one and three hours a day, Infobae said.
Elon Musk, the founder of the space company SpaceX, learned everything he knows about rockets by reading. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, said that “compared to others, readers are more likely to know other strategies and tactics in other industries.”
Bill Gates said: “Reading is one of the main ways I learn and it has been since I was a child.” And Obama, in turn, thanked the books for their help in “surviving his presidency.”
Others apply the five-hour rule in activities other than reading, although always in order to improve their learning.
Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey and LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner are known for taking time throughout the day to reflect and meditate, which helps them make better business decisions.
Researcher Thomas Corley, author of Rich Habits: Successful Daily Habits of Rich People, analyzed the routine of more than 200 millionaires around the world for five years and found, for example, that he did not watch television. On the other hand, 86% claimed to spend their time reading and not just for fun.
