The Weekly Habit for Growth
READ TIME: 1.25 MINUTES
...but it will help you for much longer than that
Most people try to get better by doing more. More studying, more planning, more late nights. But real progress doesn’t come from just working harder - it comes from working smarter.
WANT TO IMPROVE? START LOOKING BACK.
Successful students don’t just grind through the semester hoping things will work out. They pause, reflect, and adjust. Because if you don’t check in with yourself, you could be repeating the same mistakes without realizing it.
How to Do a 5-Minute Weekly Review
Before jumping into another week, take a moment to reflect on the last one. Ask yourself these three quick questions:
- What went well? (Wins, progress, habits that worked)
- What didn’t? (Distractions, challenges, things that felt off)
- What’s one small change I can make this week? (A tweak to improve next week)
This isn’t about perfection - it’s about awareness. It's about leveling-up, not some impossible static state of perfection. Once you know what’s working (and what’s not), you can make small but powerful adjustments to your approach.

Take five minutes today to reflect on last week using the three questions above. No overthinking - just a quick check-in to guide your next steps.
