Books are meant to build us. They are meant to focus our minds by taking our minds away from what we think we know to what we don’t know at all. Recently, this love for reading books has been magnified in me thanks to a book summary app I came across recently. What this app does for me is simply suggesting different books by great authors for me to read through that can actually help me be better. As some of you already know it, I’m big on self help books. I know it’s very nice to read books that are fun and all, but I always prefer self help books because I know I have so much of me that needs to improve and do better - be better.
Well, I recently read the book titled THE 5AM CLUB by Robin Sharma. This book is so much about being productive, consistent and also being able to make the most of the time we have and often times feel we don’t have. A lot of times, we have been in that situation when we feel that 24 hours is not enough. We believe that if it was 30 hours or 48 hours a day, we will be able to achieve more but deep down, do you think that is true? Well, I’ll leave you to answer that after going through this book.
One thing we often over look is the importance of managing our time. We feel so tired almost every day from doing our so called task and somehow, it doesn’t ever seem to reduce our workload. We get furious and angry and we start feeling incompetent. So according to Robin, he advised that one way we can help ourselves make the most of our time and feel more productive is by joining the 5AM Club. Most times we are skeptical of what we will do at 5AM anytime we wake up but you see, this is one of the best times to do those little things that end up spilling over to the next day.
Right now, I’m not part of the 5AM club but I plan to give it a try and see how it works for me. And maybe then I can give my feedback on how effective it is. So far so good, I think the only thing stopping me from joining that club is not because I doubt it but because I don’t want to yet. I’m the one holding myself back because I really don’t have so much doing now so my time is still well spent but soon I’ll be going back to school and I know joining this club will boost my productivity a lot.
I’ll give this book a 4.9/5 rating because it is a very practical book and not just words without actions.
Thank you for reading through. 💜
