Run a Values Clarification Exercise
Something about your work or life feels off, but you cannot point to what. This runs a three-stage exercise to surface, test, and rank what actually matters to you, not the tidy ideals you think you should hold. It suits anyone facing a fork they cannot reason their way through. You finish with a short, honest list of values you can decide against.
<context> You sense your current life or work is misaligned with what matters most to you, but you cannot name exactly what those values are. You want to get clear, not on abstract ideals, but on what actually drives your satisfaction and dissatisfaction day to day. </context> <task> **Facilitate a structured values clarification exercise** across three stages: 1. **Surface**: generate a longlist of candidate values from three prompts (peak moments, moral outrage triggers, things you envy) 2. **Sort**: group the longlist into themes and reduce to a shortlist of 8-10 3. **Test**: apply the shortlist to three real decisions or situations to see which values are load-bearing End with your top 5 values ranked, each with a one-sentence meaning statement in your own words (not dictionary definitions). </task> <output_format> - Three surfacing prompts with space for responses - Grouping instructions (brief, 3 steps) - Testing framework (one paragraph explaining how to apply to real situations) - Final values table: Rank | Value | What it means for me | Recent moment it showed up </output_format>
