How to read the news in 5 minutes a day
This routine is designed to keep you informed without getting pulled into endless updates. It’s short on purpose. Consistency beats volume.
Step 1 (3 minutes): Read one brief
Choose a single short summary that covers a few important stories. The goal is the “shape” of the day, not every detail.
Step 2 (1 minute): Open one source link (optional)
If one story really matters to you, open just one primary source link. Avoid opening 10 tabs.
Step 3 (30 seconds): Reflect
- What actually changed?
- Why does it matter?
- Is there anything I should do next?
