Values
The foundation not only for this framework, but also the key to being productive.
Being organised is relatively straight forward; being aligned with our core values takes skill and determination. For this reason, many productivity experts begin with values, sometimes referred to as our mission statement.
Although the term ‘values’ can sound vague, from the perspective of this programme, we simply mean:Â
- what is important to you?
- what motivates you?
- what makes you, you?
As an aside, you can cover this exercise individually, as a family, department or entire organisation.Â
Pro Tip
Review this exercise periodically to re-orient (if necessary) our goals, roles, projects and tasks, ensuring they are aligned.
To get the best from the exercise, create a relaxed, quiet and reflective environment before you begin.
If that isn't now, perhaps begin with the Roles level and return to this exercise later.
Beware not to get caught in the thick of thin things.

Exercise
Try as few or as many questions in this exercise as you have time to explore values.
