How 5-Hour Rule helped me to grow my skills?

Today, I would like to discuss the rule [5-Hour Rule] which benefited me most in past years. It adds more value to achieving career goals.

We all are doing our best in our current positions but sometimes it feels like we are stuck or unable to advance with our goals.

What is the 5-hour rule?

Empact founder Michael Simmons coined the phrase, the five-hour rule, regarding reading and learning.

This rule can be traced back to the life of Benjamin Franklin who spent about an hour a day on deliberate learning. He started his day early to read, write, create personal goals and monitor his progress.

We can say that at least one hour every working day is allocated to learning new skills or gaining knowledge about your roles and responsibilities. You can also count to go through all the features inside your current project and explore functionalities. It will definitely help us to keep up to date in a fast changing world.


We can say that there is no real secret but self-discipline leads to success.

This rule can play an important factor in your personal and professional development.

Honestly, no-one takes it seriously but the most successful people in the world dedicate at least 5 hours a week to deliberate learning.

You can choose an appropriate time for you in a day depending upon your schedule.

I personally feel that in a long period it will not only deliver incredible results but also increase in self discipline work.
