As you live according to the values you have listed, you will discover ways to improve your value prioritization. You will add and remove values, and you will shift their prioritization.
As with all parts of your life plan, you alone will choose what you write in this section, and you have full sovereignty to choose what to change and when. Make changes when you have sufficient reason to, but live true to what you have written until then.
Maintaining your written value prioritization under all circumstances will require discipline. You will find that some circumstances make it more difficult to live according to your values than others. Many examples abound, but they can be summarized as a battle between the prioritization you generated in the objective calm of when you wrote your life plan and the subjective environment where you feel a pull to act contrary to what you’ve written. These situations are a question of the tension between rationality and emotion—a topic that will be discussed at length later on because of how often it comes up as you implement various pieces of the life plan.
Just writing out a life plan will give you a rational foothold in areas of your life that you previously paid much less attention to. Thinking about your life plan in these moments will help you remember why you chose the way you did, but even if you can’t reproduce the logic, you can trust that you knew what you were doing when you did, and this will give you strength. The more thoroughly and repeatedly you review and renew your prioritization when you are calm and hopeful, such as first thing in the morning, the more easily you will retain a rational mindset in times you would usually devolve to an emotional mindset.
