I’m working on a new (to me) process to drive my values into my activities. I have four broad value categories, generally working up Malow’s pyramid:

  • Existence: physiological & safety
  • Tribe: belonging and love, esteem
  • Professional: esteem, cognitive
  • Spirit: aesthetic, self-actualization, transcendence I plan on reviewing my categories on an annual basis to generate a list of goals for the year. On a monthly basis I will generate a list of activities I want to complete to reach the yearly goals and weekly set a deliverable. Standard Project Planning but with a long-term, open-ended deliverable.

Of course, right now, I’m trying to do it all while figuring it out.

I’ve generated some views to help perform this.

  • Values Planning (yearly): This is a transition view for reviewing my 102 MOCs.
  • Value Execution (monthly): I don’t have a prototype yet
  • weekly-note_tmpl: I use this for planning and summarizing my week. “Six Most” was a method for prioritizing which is being superseded by the my value driven planning.
  • _daily-note_tmpl: This note has gotten a bit sprawling. Active Roadmaps and In-process Conversations will become a links to dataview pages. Review will end up in my Weekly Note. The prompts at the bottom are deleted daily after use so the final note is much less cluttered anyway.
