But distracted at least one hour is very useful on a weekday.
For example, Benjamin Franklin each day to dedicate at least one hour in his tense schedule to learn something new, read, write, identify targets or experiment.
Like Franklin, many successful people have achieved heights just because of their training went far beyond the school and the university. Throughout his life, they constantly develop their skills to become worthy and creative leaders.
spend one free hour per day can be different, so we offer you several options. Rule five hours will help you not only productive, but also to achieve success in different spheres of life.
Allow time for the moment of inspiration
Agree to sit for an hour in a coffee shop - not only easy, but also enjoyable. It is in the coffee shops were many great ideas. Writer Steven Johnson (Steven Johnson) said that in the XVIII century in England, coffeehouses were the place where great minds were constantly coming to take time off and think calmly. Away from work, new ideas were most unusual.
Timeout in work - a great way to find inspiration.
So, going to a coffee shop, to learn something new, take the time to self-improvement, you can take a look at his work from a distance and see exciting opportunities.
For example, Elizabeth Gilbert (Elizabeth Gilbert), author of "Eat, Pray, love", go gardening when experiencing writer stupor and I could not continue to work - it helped her clear her head.
I tie the stems of tomatoes, when quite suddenly, as if out of nowhere, the thought occurred to me, how can I fix the book. I washed my hands, returned to the table and for the three months ended the final version of the "marriage laws" - a book I love.

Be curious
What distinguishes highly successful entrepreneurs from other people? Their boundless curiosity. They never stop at what is one thing, even if knowledgeable enough in any one area. They strive for diversity and work on themselves every day.
Turn your attention to what you want (one billion dollars), on a deeper level, try to find out what the world needs. Ask yourself if you can offer something so unique and valuable that no one else can replace you. And develop their potential.

Another way to improve productivity - to give one hour per day of the experiment. In the modern world hard to shake the feeling that everything has already been invented and invented. But experiments to help cope with this feeling.
No matter what you do, take time to experiments and study their field of activity.
For example, the Danish chef Rene Redzepi (René Redzepi) for his experiments changed the way people think about what has to be the food. Rene - the owner of the Noma restaurant with two stars from Michelin. He and his subordinates once a day, take a break, during which time experimenting in the kitchen. They fermented products made from propped products make incredible combinations in the hope of creating something new and tasty. Not all of these experiments are successful, but you can learn and failures.
Read
One of the most effective and at the same time very simple ways to become a professional in their field - to read every day. The most successful people in the world read voraciously.
Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, George Martin, Warren Buffett - the list goes on. All these people have repeatedly expressed the idea that they could not succeed if it does not read continuously. Even after becoming successful, they did not throw the book: reading, they receive new information that is used to make the right decisions.

Doing everything by habit, you do not give to develop themselves and their skills. Rule five hours - it is a way to go beyond their normal schedule and to recognize the willingness to change. It will help you cope with burnout and get rid of the feeling that you are not good at what he does.
I am convinced that if you do not learn new, you can not do anything significant and useful.
