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
- 14 minSelf-assessmentHow is meaning doing?Four scales that split meaning into its parts (coherence, direction and mattering), plus the search for it.
- 220 minExerciseValues exerciseList ten things that feel important, narrow them to five core values, and see where your everyday life already lives by them.
- 315 minExerciseThe ikigai mapMap 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.
- 44 minSelf-assessmentAre 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.
- 510 minExerciseThis week's valueChoose a value that matters, and give it one concrete action this week.
- 610 minExerciseAn action that countsTurn a value you carry into a concrete step this week.
- 710 minExerciseMeaning through givingWhen your own life feels empty, staring harder at it rarely helps. The way out often runs through someone else, in smaller form than you think.
Other programs
Meet your thoughts
Seven days with the most well-tested tools from CBT and ACT, for those who get stuck in their heads. You learn to name feelings, catch thinking traps, step a little back from difficult thoughts, talk to yourself with some distance, give worry a bounded place, and calm the body. On the last day you meet the feeling under the thoughts with warmth. Not to think less, but so that thoughts steer you less.
7 days · Rationality
The relationships week
Seven days of action for your relationships. You read the temperature, listen without giving advice, respond to other people's good news, map what has slipped and book in a contact, repair after a quarrel, give and receive concrete wishes, and take a step toward a relationship you have let drift. Not talk about relationships, but seven concrete steps.
7 days · Discipline
The routine week
Seven days that build the backbone of your everyday life, one routine at a time. You decide, you tick off, the chain grows. When the week ends, you have not read about structure. You have built it.
