Every week
The week's theme and how you'll practise it, three priorities, a commonplace book, the hard thing rehearsed, where you fell short, the week reviewed and what's in your control.
- Week 1 of 13 (challenge-step)
- Weekly PrioritiesA short numbered list of what matters most this week, written before the week fills up.
- Commonplace BookPassages worth keeping, each with where it came from and a thought of your own. The old habit of the commonplace book, a page at a time.
- Negative VisualizationPicture losing something you value, then how you would meet that loss. Seneca recommends this rehearsal, the premeditatio malorum, so that misfortune is never wholly unexpected and what you have is valued now.
- Where I Fell Short (note box)A box headed Where I Fell Short, ruled with lines, to write in.
- The Week Reviewed (Weekly Reflection)A few questions to close the week, with lines to answer them. It starts with what went well, what did not and what comes next, and the questions can be your own.
- Dichotomy of ControlTwo columns, for what is up to you and what is not. Epictetus opens the Enchiridion with this division.
