5 Minutes to a Better You

Your desk is piled with homework, exams are just around the corner, and your phone keeps buzzing with group chat updates. Taking a moment to think about your values and goals? Probably not on your radar. But here’s the thing: it should be. Spending just 5 minutes a day to ask yourself the right questions can help you figure out what really matters, clear your mind, and grow—not by doing more, but by doing what’s important. Real success isn’t about cramming more into your day; it’s about understanding what deserves your energy. Why Self-Reflection Matters Even top leaders like Harry Kraemer, who once managed 52,000 people, rely on self-reflection to stay focused and improve. It doesn’t take much—just a few questions: - What did I accomplish today? - What could I have done better? - How can I improve tomorrow? These simple questions can help you see where you’re doing well and where you can do better. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about making progress and staying true to what you care about.
