Epictetus had one question for every worry: is this yours?
Epictetus opened his Handbook with one distinction: some things are up to us, most are not. I kept forgetting it in the heat of the moment, so I built a place to practise it.
Yours, Not Yours is a free Stoic practice ground. You sort situations from everyday life (a rejected offer, a gossiping colleague, news you can't stop scrolling) into two boxes: yours or not yours. It goes from quick true or false propositions to "cuts", where you take one situation apart piece by piece, plus true stories from history. Every answer comes with an explanation and a quote. Free, no account needed.

Stoic Week starts Monday, so if you only have a moment there's a two minute check: https://yoursnotyours.com/check
I built it mainly for myself, so honest feedback is very welcome. What's unclear, what's missing, which exercise works for you?
