Your Values Compass
For a lot of us with ADHD, life runs on other people’s priorities: deadlines, expectations, the next fire to put out. It’s easy to lose track of what actually matters to you.
Values are the quiet rules you actually live by — the things that matter enough to shape a decision, even when no one’s watching. Get clear on yours, and choosing what to say yes to (and what to let go of) gets a lot easier.
This takes about 8 minutes. There’s no right answer, just what’s true for you, right now.
- Rate a set of values as they land for you today
- Narrow it down to the five that matter most
- See where they show up in your work and your life
- Reflect on where you’re aligned — and where you’re not
A few questions to sit with
You don’t need to answer all of these — just skim them and let a few land. They tend to surface what actually matters, underneath the noise.

For each value, mark where it needs to show up for you to feel like yourself.
Your values, in one place
Where’s the gap?
Values are the core beliefs and principles that guide how you think, decide and act. Getting clear on what matters most to you makes it easier to set goals and easier to spot where your day-to-day life isn’t quite matching what you value.
