Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- Working on my values feels like an endless aspiration with no scoreboard
- I keep staring at the number on the scale and it barely moves for weeks, so I either get crushed or give up
- There’s a goal I keep flogging myself to pursue and it just won’t stick
- My progress lives buried in some spreadsheet I never open, so day to day I genuinely have no idea whether I’m winning or losing on this goal
- I keep hitting the milestones I chase
Practices that may help
- 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 - Track leading behaviors, not lagging outcomes
Track what you do (meals logged, minutes walked, words written), not what results (weight, fitness, chapters finished).
Self-Monitoring, Made Practical - Using your ranked values as a coaching north star
Return to your ranked values list every time a goal, project, or decision feels off-track.
Values Card Sort - Keep a visible, compelling scoreboard
Create a simple, always-visible scoreboard showing lead and lag measures — so you always know if you’re winning.

Distinguish directions you live (values) from destinations you reach (goals).
Values Clarification, Made Practical - Track performance goals with quantitative metrics
Measure progress toward performance goals with numbers you collect, not impressions.
Process Goals, Made Practical - Track the action, not the outcome
Record the behavior you control (workouts done) rather than the result you do not (weight lost).
Habit Tracking - Run a regular review cadence
Check in weekly and score at cycle-end so the OKRs stay alive instead of forgotten.
