5 Hour rule used by Most successful people (Entrepreneur)

Consider somebody who epitomizes a thriving career. Bill Gates?  Oprah?  Elon Musk?  A Wholesome chunk of those names which come to mind Are individuals who stick by one common principle: that the five-hour rule.  We are not saying that you will be next big Entrepreneur by this rules but here it is a place to get started. 
   
The rule itself is pretty simple: Carve out one hour from each weekday (one hour + five weekdays = five hours) to devote to deliberate practice and learning. Insert any bit of reading, studying, or practicing here that is applicable to the greater goal of advancing in your field. That's it. Ta-da. Watch out, Mr. Buffett.


The reason why the five-hour rule is so effective in priming the world's most accomplished people for continued success comes down to two things. First, working harder and longer is not the same as working smarter. Not even close. Smart working includes taking a little time away to learn instead of do. This will help you focus on long-term self-improvement rather than your current workload. Do you really think Bill Gates reading 50 books a year is directly tied to his daily projects?
Secondly, nothing beats an expert. Jumping right into the deep end, figuring things out as you go is great and all, but there's no substitute for expertise. Billionaire entrepreneur Marc Andreessen points to Mark Zuckerberg as an example, saying in an interview, "I think skill acquisition, literally the acquisition of skills and how to do things, is just dramatically underrated. 

There's a reason there are so many stories about Mark Zuckerberg. There aren't that many Mark Zuckerbergs. The really great CEOs, if you spend time with them — you would find this to be true of Mark today or of any of the great CEOs of today or the past — they are really encyclopedic in their knowledge of how to run a company, and it's very hard to just intuit all of that in your early 20s."
An Inc. article picked apart the ways different five-hour rulers spent their daily learning hour, separating the trends into three buckets: 
1. Read-> Besides Bill Gates, big-time bookworms include Oprah, Former President Obama, Mark Cuban, Nike founder Phil Knight, billionaire entrepreneur David Rubenstein, and self-made billionaire and owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers Dan Gilbert. Book club goals, anyone? 
2. Think-> This can feel like an hour of doing nothing, but taking time to reflect has been shown to improve job performance. It's critical for AOL CEO Tim Armstrong, who makes his senior team spend four hours per week thinking. 
3. Experiment-> Don't knock it till ya try it, literally. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison were known to complete risky experiments. Google and Microsoft have allotted time in the day for employees to experiment with their ideas.

7 tips to be productive while working or studying from home [online]

Studying at home could be bliss. You get to wake Up, make some coffee, and hang out in your pajamas all day. That is, until you realize you don't have anything done.

There are Lots of advantages to being able to take Courses online at home. Studying from home makes it possible watch your children, to work two jobs, and save money. However it can be easy to get sidetracked. Here are Seven tried-and-true tricks of learning by the comfort of your sofa.

1. Go to Your Happy Location ->

Try using an ambient noise app, like Coffitivity, to Create gentle background sound (such as birds chirping or the chatter of a coffee shop). Because they do not have ads ambient apps are distinct from Pandora or Spotify and they won't create deflecting dance parties. Utilizing this tool will permit you to keep focused on your work when making you feel like you're sipping coffee at a café at Paris.

2. Time Your Own Coffee Wisely ->

The most effective times to wake up are between 10 a.m. and Noon, and between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.. This goes for your caffeine of choice . Early in the morning? The body naturally produces cortisol in the early hours, which assists us to wake up. Caffeine messes making us MORE dependent on caffeine.

3. Make Your Laundry Work for You ->

If you’re like me, chores don’t get done unless I’m procrastinating something else. It can be really tempting to finally reorganize your junk drawer instead of writing that paper. Try this instead. Put in a load of laundry and make this your work timer. From the moment you start the wash cycle, you should be writing. You can take a break to switch loads and then the timer begins again.

4. Take notes ->

As an online learning student, you are probably watching the Lecture on your own PC. Don't allow the ease of being able to rewind and play it . In fact, ditch the notebook and grab the old pen and paper. Research indicates that when using laptops, students get distracted more and remember less. In addition to this, you do this. Multitasking causes productivity to fall by around 40%.

5. Get out of your cave ->

One of the tips to researching at home is Making certain you're still getting enough social time. After not talking to anyone all day, even introverts people get stir crazy. Consider taking your lunch to a park, carrying a couple hours to volunteer, or, in the very least, call your online company to complain about something. Make sure that you're talking to somebody throughout the day.

6. Pants ->

I understand. Wearing pajamas daily or not wearing trousers at All can be among the greatest parts of having the ability to study off-campus. In my experience, not getting dressed leaves me more likely to decide to watch 1 episode on Netflix, in bed, after lunch. By getting ready for the day and getting up, you can help set the tone to making it.

7. Rules of Three ->

The Rule of Three says that you have to get three things done. Make a listing and just put Perform on it. Give a to each of those things once you finish it (make it satisfying). Make your list As soon as you've finished those. Make Sure that every product is small enough that you can complete it. This will Help your big list of items to break down into smaller ones.

   Sometimes I become side-tracked. I let my lazy mind overtake my willpower. I let my mood get in the way of what I ultimately want to achieve. I procrastinate, put things off, and feel even worse later when I try to get things done in such a short period of time. The next thing I know I've fallen back into this hole of laziness, procrastination, and not doing what I know I should be doing. Then I wait for the new year or my birthday to come around in order to get excited about my New Year's Resolutions as if the date is going to make any difference. If you feel like you can relate to this and are starting to feel unmotivated, even though it's only February, so!

Here are 5  tips on how you can remain inspired and motivated:


1. Get used to forcing yourself to do things.

     This sounds tough, doesn't it? Our mind has muscles. It memorizes patterns. By doing this over and over, you're building your willpower and self-discipline. Forcing yourself to do things that you don't feel like doing (but you know you should be doing) is a habit you can learn.
Every time I don't feel like doing something like going to the gym or abstaining from eating chocolate, I tell myself that if I keep doing it for several weeks, one day it will become a habit. At that point, doing it will become second to nature. The next thing you know, you won't even feel like breaking your good habits anymore.

2. Seek inspiration -- every day.

    No matter how intrinsically driven we are, we can easily lose our motivation if we don't continue to seek it out. Ever since I was a child, I have made it a habit to look for inspiration. The Internet has given us the power to find anything and everything. It is up to you to use that power to your advantage. Because I am a creative person and I feel stuck, bored, and stagnant the moment that I don't feel inspired. To feel alive again, I look for inspiration. I read books, watch videos, read articles, and do things that reflect what and who I aspire to become. I find ways to better myself and find inspiration every day.

If you have lost motivation with work, see if you can do more challenging tasks. Read articles and watch videos that inspire your creative spark. Meet new people. Go to events.
Everyone is different and you're the only one who knows what suits you the most.

3. Focus on the emotional reward you will get.

     When you're on the fence of fear, doubt, laziness, and tiredness, you have to focus on the emotional reward you will get if you just push yourself a little bit more to jump over that fence.

Be clear from the beginning what the reward will be and keep your eyes on the prize the whole time. Aim for something substantial and take into account the things you will learn along the way as well. The journey is just as important as the destination, but the biggest reward will be reaching your goal in itself. You will have taken a step towards making a habit out of achieving goals

4. Track your goals weekly and periodically.

    Tracking your goals is crucial. We hold ourselves accountable when we don't achieve our goals.

Writing things down is a way to reinforce to our subconscious what we want. Just like the practice of prayer. The more we tell ourselves what we want to achieve, the more likely we are to take action. We're not letting those goals slip through our minds. The subconscious is powerful. The thoughts you say out loud are not as powerful as the thoughts you whisper to yourself. Positive affirmations hold their power. By tracking your goals and telling yourself over and over what you want to achieve, eventually you will overcome your laziness.

5. Set a reward for yourself.

    Who doesn't like rewards? Rewards can keep us motivated. And if a reward can keep us motivated for 30 days, then we might have successfully changed our habit by then too. Pick a healthy reward for yourself. While a material reward like a new outfit, a vacation, or a massage can be great, an inner reward feels better and is more sustainable.
What is an inner reward? An inner reward is the emotional reward you feel from within. This brings us back to point 3 - focus on the emotional reward. Instead of focusing on rewards such as "if I lose 10 lbs, I'm going to buy a new outfit," focus on the confidence and happiness you'll feel from being fit and healthy. Think about how much more productive you'd become when you feel energized. If you focus on a material reward, you may get excited when you get the reward, but after a while, you will lose your motivation again. The emotional reward is sustaining and it is built from within. Make it a habit to focus on the emotional reward and it will become easier to make real change in your life.
