How to use UPrS
UPrS is a calm method for thinking about a difficult situation.
Begin by putting into words what is weighing on your mind. Then move through the reflections one angle at a time. You do not need perfect answers. A few honest sentences are enough to begin.
Put the problem into words
Write what feels true right now. Do not make it polished. A rough first description often reveals more than a carefully edited one.
Move one angle at a time
Each step looks at your problem from a different angle: the situation, the people involved, your feelings, interests, reasoning, insight, change, acceptance, and love.
Use Enter or the Next button in the bottom-right corner to continue.
Use Shift + Enter if you want to add a new line inside your reflection.
Your input is saved automatically while you work.
Use the sidebar as a map of your thinking
The sidebar helps you see where you are in the structure. It shows which perspectives you have visited and where reflections have been added.
You can always return to an earlier angle when something becomes clearer later.
Look at the whole picture
You do not have to complete every step before looking at the bigger picture. Use the Overview button at any time to see how your understanding of the problem is evolving.
Sometimes the overview itself reveals the next step.
Reflect quietly on mobile
On mobile, you can hide the Overview to create more space for writing and reflection.
Hide the Overview when you want to focus. Show it again when you want to see where you are in the structure.
Use the Overview at any time to see how your understanding of the problem is evolving.
Save your work
In the full version of UPrS, your problems can be saved securely in your personal archive.
You can also download a PDF that preserves the path from the initial question to the insights that emerged along the way.
See the UPrS in practice
The Archive contains example problems that have already been explored using the UPrS.
Following how a problem develops through reflection, overview and discussion is often the easiest way to understand the method.
The UPrS principle
The answer is rarely hidden.
More often it is waiting to become visible.
When you are unsure what to do next, write one more honest sentence.
