Discover Your Core Values: From 15 Words to 5

Values are what you choose when it is hard. When your goals match your values, motivation stops being a fight.

How to do it

  1. From a list of value words, circle the 15 that feel most like you.
  2. Cut to 10, then to 5. The cuts are where the clarity comes from.
  3. Define each of your 5 values in your own words, and why it matters to you.
  4. Check every goal against your five values. If a goal violates one, change the goal.
Use AI: Have an AI assistant interview you, one question at a time, about the best and worst moments of your year, then suggest the values hiding in your answers.
