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 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
  • I pour everything into one part of my life
  • 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’m torn between two things I care about

Practices that may help

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  3. Rate your current position in each domain
    Mark on each domain’s bullseye how closely your recent behavior has matched the value — honestly.

  4. 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.

  5. Turn the chosen domain into a committed action
    Convert the domain insight into a concrete, timed, values-linked behavior — not a vague intention.

  6. 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.

  7. Use precise, not round, numbers
    A specific figure (e.g. 9,850) anchors more credibly than a round one (10,000).

  8. Use precise, non-round numbers in final offers
    A specific non-round number signals calculation and research, not an arbitrary position.

    Start your forecast from the class median, then adjust — do not start from your narrative and adjust to the base rate.
