The Telos Method

Turn intention into practice.

Good habits. Goals that matter. Less putting things off.

Start with six simple questions about your day. No promise to change. No perfect score. Just show up and answer honestly.

Free questions, graphs and history. No paid course required.

The four foundations

Take the pressure off. Make it easy to begin.

Daily Questions are the starting practice. Add one Microgoal when you are ready, then build your reasons and responses a little at a time. Not four demanding new routines.

01

Answer the six questions

Start with happiness, meaning, engagement, relationships and goals. Score your effort since you last scored yourself. No promise to change is needed.

02

Choose one Microgoal

When you want to add an action, make it tiny: one sentence, one press-up or one item put away. Do only that, then stop. You are building the habit, not the quantity.

03

Build your reasons

Write two personally meaningful reasons at a sitting, working towards 100. Go beyond what sounds good to what genuinely matters to you.

04

Smash the excuses

Write down the thoughts that keep stopping you. Prepare a believable if–then response for each, connected to a reason and your tiny action.

More than a habit tracker

Work with the thoughts and feelings behind what you do.

You may know exactly what you want, yet keep putting it off. Or find that the same thought or feeling returns at the same moment.

Telos connects nine exercises across thoughts, emotions and actions. The four foundations help you begin. The other exercises give you ways to explore emotional responses, put thoughts into words, clarify a goal or rehearse a different approach.

You do not have to do every exercise. Use what serves you.
