The meaning week

Seven days for the bigger questions, kept grounded. You clarify your values, put into words what gives your life direction, and turn it into concrete steps: meaning as action, not as rumination.

How it works

One exercise, session or article per day for 7 days. You go at your own pace — the app remembers where you are, and you can pause and restart whenever you want.

Day by day

  1. 1
    Self-assessment
    How is meaning doing?
    Four scales that split meaning into its parts (coherence, direction and mattering), plus the search for it.

  3. 3
    Exercise
    The ikigai map
    Map where what you love, what you are good at and what someone needs overlap. Not to find a magic answer, but to see where it is worth digging.

  4. 4
    Self-assessment
    Are you holding the wheel?
    Do you steer your life, or does it happen to you? Four scales on perceived control, and where it does the most good.

  7. 7
    Exercise
    Meaning through giving
