Identity module

Values

Anchor planning in what the client stands for.

Values gives clients a place to define principles, boundaries, anti-goals, and alignment evidence. It helps the rest of HourLife stay connected to identity instead of becoming a neutral productivity machine.

A structured place for principles, boundaries, and alignment evidence.

Workflows

The values flow from principle to evidence.

Define

Write the values in practical language.

Values should be usable in decisions, not just aspirational.

Clarify

Add boundaries and anti-goals.

Knowing what does not fit prevents vague planning.

Connect

Relate values to goals and decisions.

The value becomes part of the operating system.

Collect evidence

Record where life matched the value.

Alignment becomes visible instead of assumed.

Review

Use values during reflection.

Reviews can ask whether action matched identity.

Adjust

Update commitments when values conflict.

The module supports better tradeoffs.

How I use it

How a client uses Values for better choices.

Values is the identity layer. Clients use it when they want decisions, goals, and reviews to reflect what matters, not just what is urgent.

  1. 1 Write the values that should guide the season.
  2. 2 Add boundaries or anti-goals to make each value practical.
  3. 3 Link values to goals or decisions when alignment matters.
  4. 4 Capture evidence when a value shows up in real life.
  5. 5 Review values when a plan feels busy but misaligned.
