Love the format for looking at the week and month as a whole ..could also see a modification in more bullet points for the DAYS

Great short five day refresher course. Thanks much!
Store owner replied: We're happy to hear you enjoyed the course, Kris, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!
the 5th one was a repeat of the 4th - was even labeled #4
Great product!
I did enjoy the content of Days 1 through 4 of this mini-course but NOT my intereaction with your "Community Guide" Kathrin Sandall. The email for Day 5 had the correct subject line but the body and link were a duplicate of day 4. Several attempts to get the correct link have been unsuccessful.
I'm finding the Monk Manual and supporting materials really helpful! Finally embracing a system that digs deeper and gently encourages me to work through some of the tougher, but more lasting and meaningful questions. I'm only a few weeks into it, but already it's helping me focus on what's higher, and growing me into a better friend and companion.. to myself and others. Love it!
It was good to kick start but didnt finish it

Mini course was spot on helpful and didn’t require a big time commitment!

A thoughtful exercise. I tried to post regularly to the community and to comment on the reflections and posts of others. Wondered how many other folks were going through the community as well. I've written a few emails to the main "Monk" email without a response. I work with hundreds of people — from late teens and early 20s through their 70s -- and thought that this would be a wonderful practice and journey to go on as they discern new pathways and reflect on the current state of their transitions. I was hoping to receive a "code" to share with folks who might take the course for free as I did. My thought was that it might be a WIN for Monk because I would be able to refer folks to you, and then, once they're in your system, you would be able to market to them. Could be a WIN on all sides? Might this be of interest to you and the Team? Gerald Doyle gerald.doyle@gmail.com

The questions were not difficult but they were eye-opening. They were well explained. It was time well-spent.

I have already been practicing these principles, so perhaps for me it was a little redundant. Though for someone new to the Monk Manual this would be very useful.
Store owner replied: Thank you for your honest feedback—we’re always looking to improve. We’ll keep your thoughts in mind as we continue to refine our tools to better serve you and others on this journey.
A good reminder of how simple questions can help me understand my best self and passion, and that these questions are part of the Monk Manual tools that prod me to stop, think and write.

Since the last of our eight children went off to college, putting an end to twenty-five years as a home-educator, I have been trying to discern what is next in my life. I have tried on and off to plan and organize my time with varying degrees of success, but with no long term consistency. There have been many starts and stops as the events of my life keep interrupting my routine. Five to Flourish has provided me the tools to begin to take a closer look at what is most important in my life at this time and to use that information to develop a plan or rhythm to my days.
Store owner replied: We deeply appreciate your feedback and support. It’s encouraging to know the Monk Manual is playing a role in your daily rhythm and reflection.
Simple, yet great reminders of what a flourishing life is like. The course goes over the mindset shifts to make to stay curious about the structure and purpose in my time. Love that it was quick while leaving plenty of room for thought.

The mini-course was a difference maker in getting the most out of my Monk Manual. I’ve attempted making big aspirational changes before, but too many changes at once are often difficult for me to sustain. The extra coaching in Five-to-Flourish helped me hone my “why” before my “what” and also encouraged me to be patient and persevering with all the useful facets of my MM. One good month in and my week’s are organized around my well-thought-out personal, family, and work priorities. My calendar is working for me more and more.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much, Gabe. We love to hear that Five to Flourish helped you so much on your Being + Doing journey.
