“Focusing on what matters to you becomes feasible when your values are clear.” This worksheet will guide you step by step through the process of identifying your core values. When finished, you’ll know with all certainty who you are, who you are not, what’s important to you, and what’s not important to you. This is the level of clarity you need to succeed in life and foster a successful decluttering experience.

From the list below, select 3-5 core values that are the most important to you. If you do not see a value of yours listed, add it by clicking the “Add Core Value” button at bottom. The 3-5 values you select will represent the core pillars of your life. This does not indicate that other things are unimportant, as many of your values will fall within these core pillars. By limiting your selection, you will have better clarity toward what you value most.
Click the blank space under “Ranking” & rank your values by importance (1 = most important). Try your best to rank each value, as this will help you hone in on what is essential.
Reflect over the past year. What was your relationship like with your core values? Have they been a steady priority? Any pats on the back? Where can you improve?
Clarify what your core values mean in practice. What can you do more (or less) to prioritize each value? Think about the actions you must take to align with your values every day and write clear intentions for each.
Take your list of 3-5 core values and write a short statement encompassing what you value. This exercise will help you visualize your values and give you something to live by.

Once a quarter or yearly spend a few moments reflecting on how you are living out your core values in real life. Celebrate wins, note challenges and make adjustments where necessary. If you believe that your values have changed, go back to the beginning of this worksheet and make the necessary updates.
