values-proportionality-2026-07-29

Golda, 2026-07-29, continuing the strategy braindump (strategy-braindump-2026-07-29). Her words, lightly cleaned: 'The problem is things aren't proportionate to my actual values and priorities. It's so easy to go down rabbit holes because that's the immediate action that can be taken - a temporary value shift. It's like my original value equation idea: you need to keep going back to your core values and priorities, even though in the momentary context some other value is actually higher driving your action because it's available. You want to keep going back to your North Star and figuring out what's the most effective thing to do next, high level. That's what's missing.' Core concept: available/immediate actions cause temporary value shifts; the missing mechanism is a regular return to the North Star to ask what's the most effective next thing at high level. Connects to her 'value equation' idea (not found in abra - predates the store?).
