Welcome to the Personal Values Card Sort Activity! This exercise is designed to help you explore and prioritize your personal values. Follow these steps to engage in the activity within this Coda document:

Using this doc

Explore Values: You'll find each value listed as a row in the Card View, along with its definition. Examples include values like Acceptance, Achievement, Compassion, etc.

Sort Your Values: Drag and drop the cards into one of three groups according to how important each value is to you:

Very Important to Me

Not Important to Me

Reflect: After sorting, take a moment to reflect on your choices. Consider why certain values are more important to you and how they reflect who you are and your priorities in life.

Prioritize: Within the "Very Important to Me" group, you may want to order the values to highlight your top priorities. This helps in understanding what drives you the most.

Plan Action: Think about how you can integrate these top values more actively into your daily actions and decisions. Planning specific ways to embody these values can enhance your life alignment and decision-making.
