There's a simple algorithm, based on this idea, for eliciting your hierarchy of values. IIRC it goes something like this: - - - - Imagine a mundane task of medium importance, e.g. brushing your teeth or doing the dishes. Now imagine something comes up that interrupts that task, and it's important enough to make you stop doing the previous task and attend to the new thing. Repeat previous step. - - - - I'm skipping over all the details, of course, but the point is that if you do it right you wind up with a ranked or graded list of values, motives for action.
