The 5-hour rule consists of dedicating an hour a day to learn something about a topic, that would give 5 hours a week, Michael Simmons noticed that pattern in successful people studying Benjamin Franklin realized that habit leads you to do the other tasks in a more efficient way.
Charlie Munger, one of Warren buffet's best friends, calls this type of people learning machines who are always eager to learn, because in a long time they start doing everything faster and better. So machine learning uses the 5 hour rule. Peter Ducker explained that in the 21st century, knowledge workers due to creativity and high productivity would have advantages in an increasingly automated world, so if you stop learning you run the risk of becoming obsolete in the labor market.Now this rule is not about you spending that hour a day learning things at random, the idea of applying the rule well is that you learn things between these 3 categories.
First, communication, personal finance or nutrition you should think of them as the basis on which you will build your knowledge, it is a mistake to think that communication or nutrition are not necessary to improve, communication is vital in each business or work, in nutrition is something we do on a daily basis.
Second ,general knowledge or skills, knowledge allows you to identify trends, those who know more about technology and cryptocurrencies, those who arrive first have more opportunities to earn money.
Third, professional skills Knowing a little of everything is not enough so it is important every day to learn more about specific knowledge in your profession, so that you do not run the risk of dismissal.
Complying with this rule requires discipline, there should be no excuses we are not busier than Elon Musk, Bill Gate or Barack Obama and they all follow this rule, we must understand that what we learn is doomed to expire in most cases and for that we must be constantly learning.
