The deck is sorted
All fifty cards are down.
Move any card between piles on the right, then rank the ones that matter most.
Press 1, 2 or 3, or the left, down and right arrows, to put this card on a pile. Backspace takes the last card back.
Rank
Put at least three cards in the very important pile first.
Ranking compares the cards you called very important, two at a time.
Narrow it down
Pick the ten to rank.
Comparisons work best with ten or fewer. The rest stay very important; they just will not get a place in the order.
Which matters more?
If you could keep only one, which would it be?
Go with the first answer. You can reorder the list afterwards.
Ranked
Your top five is set.
Move any card up or down if the order feels wrong. Then put the five in your own words.

Your top five
A value is a direction, not a goal: you never finish it. Say what each one means to you, what it looks like in an ordinary week, and what it asks you to turn down.
Where your values lean
Schwartz's circle of ten values. Neighbours are easy to pursue together; opposites pull apart. The fill is how much of each slice you called important.
