Stoic Focus: Do Less, Better
With Jon BrooksThis 10‑day challenge blends timeless Stoic tools with modern productivity so you can stop chasing everything and finally do the essential few. Each day you’ll get an 8–12 minute audio lesson plus one simple action—focusing on the dichotomy of control, the “adjacent possible,” attention hygiene, and “do less, better.” Expect calm clarity, a shorter to‑do list, and meaningful progress without the frenzy. The spirit of this course is informed by Oliver Burkeman’s wise take on time and attention (credited with respect, no book required), paired with practical Stoic practices like premeditatio malorum and view‑from‑above. You’ll leave with a repeatable micro‑routine for choosing what matters—at work and in life.
A challenge to cut busywork, focus deeply, and move what truly matters.
