how is the leviMensa method different from other organization methods?
the leviMensa method stands out for its desire to offer a practical, illustrated and accessible approach, far removed from complex "business" works or books that you never open. it is designed as a manual, almost like a recipe book, allowing you to pick and choose from the different parts according to your needs and desires. leviMensa is a methodological compilation based on a synthesis of best practices and academic work (insserm, stanford) on cognition, but also on ten years of feedback from the field. the method doesn't restrict itself to theory: it retains only what works for everyone, validated by the trainees' practice and experience. this way, whatever the order in which the different building blocks are put in place, a coherent system emerges naturally, lightening the mental load and making organization more fluid and enjoyable.
how does a day with leviMensa work in practice?
the leviMensa day begins and ends with a routine: a morning routine to condition the brain, and an evening routine to uncondition it. it's essential to work from lists, never from your head, in order to free up the mental load. the method recommends structuring the day according to your chronotype: in the morning, routine followed by background work (concentration list); mid- or late-morning, continue with background work; lunch break is ideally followed by a short walk and a micro-nap; early afternoon is reserved for social activities, meetings and interactions. this organization optimizes your energy and productivity while preserving your well-being.
what are the tools and key steps in the leviMensa method?
the leviMensa method is based on a number of concrete tools, presented like the utensils in a cookbook: concrete lists, role mapping, results mapping, routines, weekly maintenance, etc. the third part of the book is dedicated to these tools, while the fourth details how they are arranged in a coherent system. the method encourages you to centralize all information and tasks in input boxes, clarify the actions to be taken, organize your lists regularly and review your objectives quarterly. the aim is to transform raw information into organized actions, with regular routines and maintenance to keep your mind light and aligned with your priorities.
