Why is everybody in a hurry? Where are they going? And, if they are actually going somewhere in life, can't it wait a few minutes?
These questions always arise between 9 am and 10 am in the morning, and between 4.30 and 5.30 pm each working day, in my mind. After that, they vanish, to come back again at the same time, to bother me.
Research is needed, maybe, to figure out if we would achieve anything more if we were 5 minutes ahead of normal/usual. Will that stop global warming, floods, war, general nastiness and dictators clinging to power in more countries than one?
Will it lead to us smiling instead of throwing a tantrum at home or workplace?
Partly, it depends on your mode of transport too. If you have a comfortable seat on a bus or a commuter train, you may not care about traffic conditions, or delays of some kind. They would be minor distractions for you. But in the driver's seat, it may feel different.
So, maybe learning to relax and take a deep breath, and not rush in where angels fear to tread would be a good approach. What do you think?

Totally agree. Heavens do not fall in five minutes. And if you are Vitalstatistix, heavens never fall ... because tomorrow never comes.
Those statistics must be kept in mind, yes.
