Practices that may help
- Values Bullseye, Made Practical
The values bullseye, developed by Tobias Lundgren within the ACT framework, is a visual exercise in which you rate how close your current behavior is to the bullseye in four life domains — work, relationships, personal growth, and leisure. It converts abstract values into a concrete gap-analysis, making it easier to choose one committed action that moves you toward the center. The exercise is part of the established ACT toolkit; direct evidence for the instrument is limited but the underlying ACT framework has substantial support. - Use the bullseye to resolve competing values
When two values pull in different directions, the bullseye shows you which domain is most neglected and most in need of attention.
Values Bullseye, Made Practical - Map your values across the four life domains
Write one core value statement for each domain — work, relationships, personal growth, leisure — before touching the bullseye.
Values Bullseye, Made Practical - Review the bullseye weekly to track real movement
Re-mark each domain every week and compare — small outward or inward shifts are your feedback loop.
Values Bullseye, Made Practical - Turn the chosen domain into a committed action
Convert the domain insight into a concrete, timed, values-linked behavior — not a vague intention.
Values Bullseye, Made Practical - Rate your current position in each domain
Mark on each domain’s bullseye how closely your recent behavior has matched the value — honestly.
Values Bullseye, Made Practical - Choose one domain to move toward the bullseye this week
Pick the domain where a small move would matter most — not the most important one in the abstract.
Values Bullseye, Made Practical - Sanity-check against known extremes
Test your estimate against the clearly too-high and too-low bounds to calibrate your range.
Fermi Estimation - Practice confidence interval estimation
Estimate ranges for factual quantities and check how often the true value falls within your range.
Calibration Training - Use value-based self-affirmation before threatening evaluations
Before a threatening evaluation, write for 10 minutes about a value that matters to you — unrelated to the domain being evaluated.
Power Posing Revisited
Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’m torn between two things I care about
- I pour everything into one part of my life
- Working on my values feels like an endless aspiration with no scoreboard
- I’ve identified the area I want to change and now I’m just sitting on a vague intention like "be more present with my kids"
- I keep telling myself I’m basically living in line with what I care about, but if I’m brutally honest about my actual behavior the last couple of weeks, I suspect I’m way further from the center than I let myself admit
