The Gap Between Values and Actions

You probably already know your values - at least roughly. Creativity. Growth. Connection. Impact. Freedom. But knowing your values and living them are different things. Most people have a gap: 
What I believe → [GAP] → What I actually do daily
This gap creates cognitive dissonance. You feel like a fraud. You know what matters, but your calendar doesn’t reflect it. Your to-do list is full of things that don’t align. AlignCore bridges this gap.

​

How Values Become Actions

​
Step 1: Values Clarification

Before you can plan from values, you need to know what they actually are. Not the values you think you should have - the values you actually hold. AlignCore’s journaling with Sky surfaces these through pattern recognition:
  • What themes keep appearing in your reflections?
  • When do you feel most alive?
  • What decisions feel intuitively right?
  • What drains you vs. energizes you?

​
Step 2: Life Domain Mapping

Your North Star applies to every area of life:
DomainWhat Alignment Looks Like
CareerWork that expresses your values
RelationshipsConnections that support who you’re becoming
HealthCare for the body that carries your purpose
FinancesResources as tools for your mission
CreativityExpression of your unique perspective
LearningGrowth toward your North Star
AlignCore helps you see how your single North Star manifests differently across each domain.

​
Step 3: Constraint-Based Planning

Traditional goal-setting asks: “What do you want to achieve?” Values-based planning asks: “Given who you are, what actions naturally follow?” This is constraint-based planning - your values constrain the solution space. Instead of infinite options, you have a focused set of aligned actions.

​
Step 4: Daily Integration

Your North Star doesn’t live in a vision board. It lives in your Tuesday at 2pm. AlignCore helps you:
  • Identify your Most Important Things (MITs) for each day
  • Filter tasks through your values
  • Track whether your time reflects your priorities
  • Adjust when you drift

​
The Result: Coherent Life Progress

When your actions flow from your values:
You don’t need a “work self” and a “real self.” Your career, relationships, and personal growth all express the same core.
You stop relying on willpower. Aligned action is self-motivating. The energy to act comes from the alignment itself.
Every aligned action reinforces every other. Career growth supports relationship growth supports personal growth. It compounds.
You can see yourself becoming who you’re meant to be. Progress is tangible, trackable, real.
