Recommendation

Benjamin Franklin – a polymath, inventor and one of America’s Founding Fathers – displayed little aptitude as a youngster. Yet by following a path of continual and deliberate learning, he achieved extraordinary success across multiple disciplines. Following in Franklin’s footsteps may seem like a lofty target, but his formula for learning is surprisingly simple: Dedicate an hour per day to self-improvement. In an era of rapid transformation, optimizing learning techniques is a must for anyone participating in the workforce.

Take-Aways

  • The five-hour rule – that is, dedicating an hour a day, five days a week, to deliberate learning – is responsible for Benjamin Franklin’s success.
  • To channel Franklin’s learning techniques, schedule some “slack” in your day.
  • Set yourself some learning goals. Turn off your autopilot, and practice critical skills. Stew on what you have learned to bring new ideas to fruition.
