The main goal is to engage in intentional work and then reflection on specific steps that Confucians teach. On each day of the week you will be assigned a particular activity to complete. Some of these activities will ask you to complete a task, reflect on a few questions, or engage in a thought experiment. Others will involve cultivating habits, changing your behavior with others in a certain way, or going about your everyday routine a little differently.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">All of the philosophical exercises for this week are located on this page and you will need to complete them daily. This will consist of two steps:<\/span><\/p><ol><li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">At the start of each day in the morning, you should read the assigned exercises and carry them out\u2014you can keep this assignment open on your phone throughout the day for easy access.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">At the end of each day in the evening, you should submit\u00a0in the
