    Step 2. To make the list more manageable, divide it into two divisions with approximately 14 items in each. The A-list will comprise those you choose as being most important to you personally. There may be different lists for work and outside work. Step 3. From the A-list of about 12 values select half for the A+list. Step 4. From the A+list select your top five personal values and try to put them in order of importance. These may be the values that will help you harmonise and maintain your well-being and your relationships with other people and your organisation. Reflect on your short list of values and challenge yourself as to whether they inform your choices and the decisions you make throughout your daily life as well as the major life changing decisions to make. Do they, also, help you achieve your sense of enjoyment, happiness and wellbeing?
