Increasingly concrete
It’s good to know your values. Your principles make them actionable (because Principles are Verbs), and enumerating methods make them concrete. A good thing to think of as a group/hierarchically.
Sort of a “why”, “what”, and “how” trio… sort of.
Examples
| Value | Principle | Methods |
|---|---|---|
| Charity | Give what you can to those who need it more | I will donate 25% of my bonuses and volunteer one day per quarter at XYZ shelter |
| Simplicity | Do the Simplest Thing | I will favor plans with the fewest moving parts. I won’t reinvent the wheel. I will apply the Pareto Principle rather than do it all. |
