The Potential of Five Minutes

The Potential of Five Minutes

I recently revisited my Notion notes from 2020 and came across this quote from James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits:

What can you do with 5 good minutes?

5 good minutes of:

  • pushups is a solid workout
  • sprints will leave you winded
  • writing can deliver one good page
  • reading can finish an insightful article
  • meditation can reset your mood

You don’t need more time — just a little focused action.

Life moves pretty fast and it can be easy to let it slip by. Bit-by-bit. Minute-by-minute.

This is a nice reminder that five minutes of focused effort can result in little wins. And often, it’s the stacking of little wins that result in great victories.
