1. To begin, shuffle all of the Value Cards except for the the blank “Other Value”
cards.
2.Once the cards are shuffled, go ahead and sort them not into the different piles
based on how important each one is to you.
3. When you’re done, if there are any other values that are important to you that
are not mentioned on these cards, you can use these blank cards to add them.
4. Once all of the values are placed into the piles, pick 5-10 values in each pile
and rank them in order from 1 (most important) to 5 or 10 (less important).
Note: There may already be 5 or 10 cards in a given pile. Alternatively, there may be more
cards in a particular pile, like the “Most Important” pile. It may be necessary to add some cards
from a closely related pile (ie: add cards from “Very Important” to “Most Important” pile). It is
also possible to skip the first sorting step and just have people pick out and rank-order the
10 values that seem most important to them. This could be done just from a list of values,
but having the values on cards allows people to move them around visually when sorting and
rank-ordering.
