<p>In this episode, we introduce two fundamental thought experiments to help you uncover your true priorities and core values. By exploring scenarios of scarcity and abundance, you'll learn to align your daily actions with what truly matters, leading to a more satisfied career and life.</p><ul><li><strong>Uncover Your Priorities:</strong> Engage in a "5% exercise" where you imagine only being able to complete a tiny fraction of your to-do list. This thought experiment leverages a scarcity mindset to reveal your genuine priorities, helping you distinguish between what you perceive as important and what truly is.</li><li><strong>Discover Your Values:</strong> Participate in an "abundance exercise" by imagining all your obligations are met and you have complete autonomy. What you choose to do next in this state reflects your core values and helps you move beyond aspirational or culturally normative answers.</li><li><strong>Go Deeper:</strong> Learn to challenge superficial answers when identifying your values, pushing beyond the obvious to find unique and potentially surprising insights that genuinely guide your decision-making.</li><li><strong>Unify for Satisfaction:</strong> Explore the profound insight that the most likely path to a satisfied career and life comes from unifying your priorities and values, thereby avoiding actions that don't align with what truly matters to you.</li></ul><h2>📮 Ask a Question</h2><p>If you enjoyed this episode and would like me to discuss a question that you have on the show, drop it over at: <a href="https://www.developertea.com/contact">developertea.com.</a></p><h2>📮 Join the <a href="https://developertea.com/discord">Discord</a></h2><p>If you want to be a part of a supportive community of engineers (non-engineers welcome!) working to improve their lives and careers, join us on the Developer Tea Discord community by visiting <a href="https://developertea.com/discord">https://developertea.com/discord</a> today!</p><h2>🧡 Leave a Review</h2><p>If you're enjoying the show and want to support the content head over to iTunes and <a href="https://ratethispodcast.com/devtea">leave a review</a>!
