Each of the five drops has its essence. We first explain the essence to you in each section. This is followed by a part that we call Change and Repetition. In this part, we have thought experiments and questions for you to experience the essence yourself. | Each of the five drops has its essence. We first explain the essence to you in each section.

One more | One more thing: We are not in school here, but in life. You will see that you can only do everything right with the manifesto and also in this manual. The more attention you give to the drops, the more intensively they can work within you. | ||
Now we can get started! | Now we can get started! | ||

As with any change, it is also the case here as it is with riding a bike. It was once laborious to learn to ride a bike and perhaps painful when we crashed on our face. Today we don't even think about it and can even ride with no hands, and some of us even post our new status on social media while doing it if we have to. | As with any change, it is also the case here as it is with riding a bike.

Paying attention to what has been said so far and thus allowing it to sink in is already half the battle. Below, we have some simple exercises for you. Speaking of rent. The word 'Miete' has been known in German since the 8th century. Originally, it meant wages and also gift. The fastest way to learn is to practice something daily. The famous five minutes. Through this, both small and large miracles can often occur. For these miracles, sleep, and especially dreaming, where we process what we have learned, is obviously important. If you now firmly associate the exercise with an existing ritual, such as brushing your teeth or your bedtime ritual, then it works particularly well. Let's get started! | |||
Reading: Write the four lines on a small note. Read the lines out loud every day after waking up or before you start your work. | |||
Writing down: If you realize over the course of your day after evaluating a thought that it may be relevant at some time but not now, note the thought in your smartphone or a small notebook. | |||
Word clarification: Write down five words that you encounter daily but only have a vague idea of what they exactly mean. Then take each of these terms and explore it with the help of the magic quartet. You can experiment with terms here as you like. Take terms that are ubiquitous, such as time or sustainability. Another possibility is to take very specific terms that are meaningful to your group, such as the name of a competitor or a special technical term from your work. | |||
Sentence clarification: Now create a list of five sentences that you hear over and over again from yourself or others but that seem suspect to you. Commonplace phrases such as "Nothing comes from nothing" or "Money doesn't buy happiness" are popular here. Then take these sentences and examine them with the help of the magic quartet. | |||
Casual conversation clarification: Now that you've become a bit more practiced, you can also try it during a dialogue about something unimportant. This can be the chit-chat over the fence with your neighbor or a little gossip at the local bakery. Write down a few sentences after the conversation and illuminate them with the help of the magic quartet. | |||
Reading clarification: Now try with the reading of a book or an article. Read the content with your new glasses and this newly sharpened attention. What conclusions do you come to? | |||
Expert clarification: Keep a small logbook in the future where you enter surprises that occur in the fields you count as your circle of competence. These unexpected events are particularly valuable. If you research these, you will get important impulses for fundamental improvements. | |||
