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

  • I’m still funneling money toward priorities I set years ago, and my life has moved on since then
  • Working on my values feels like an endless aspiration with no scoreboard
  • I say family and health are what matter most to me, but if you looked at my actual calendar this week you’d never guess it
  • I assume my spending more or less reflects what I care about, but I’ve never actually tested it
  • 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
