  • A lot has changed for me lately
  • Working on my values feels like an endless aspiration with no scoreboard
  • I’m still funneling money toward priorities I set years ago, and my life has moved on since then
  • I say I value certain things, but when I look honestly at how I actually spent my week, my real priorities were something else entirely
  • I say I value family, or health, or creativity
