Clarify your values and priorities

from The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living by Ryan Holiday, Stephen Hanselman

How to Apply This

  1. Schedule a fixed time for a regular reflection on your values and priorities.
    You can do this daily, weekly, or monthly.

  2. Look over your life–both in past and present and ask yourself: what do I deeply value?
    You can think of meaningful achievements, inspirational figures, or valuable experiences.

  3. Make a list of up to 10 words, phrases, or images that reflect your values.

  4. Write down your answers to the following questions:
     - How much of my time, energy, and life do I currently dedicate to what I value the most?
     - How much time or energy do I want to devote to them?
    - What are three specific things I can do (or stop doing) to prioritize my values?
