💬 Summary
Intentional work isn’t about strict rules or squeezing more into your day.
It’s about acting with clarity: knowing what matters, choosing wisely, and building habits that support rather than overwhelm you.
Dominik reminds us that productivity must start with awareness:
- What is your long-term vision?
- Do your weekly actions truly move you toward it?
- Is your system aligned with your strengths—or fighting against them?
A calmer, more meaningful workflow is possible when you regularly review, adjust, and reconnect with your purpose.
