Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I keep treating my way of seeing things as the right one and everyone else’s as a problem to overcome, and I want to genuinely hold that what the people I clash with value is real and needed
• I’ve got a short list of values but they’re all just sitting there as equals, and the second two of them collide in real life
• I’m torn between two things I care about
• If you ask me what I value I’ll say family, health, honesty, growth
• I’m about to drop a chunk of money on something I’m sure will make me happy, but I’m only picturing that one purchase

Practices that may help

1. Develop second-tier, systems-level thinking

2. Rank your top values
   Force a strict order among your finalists so conflicts resolve in advance.

3. 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.
