Outcomes and values snapshot
============================

 Always good to put it to paper and reflect: Is my behavior congruent with this?

  Taking a moment to reflect on my priorities. This list is not comprehensive - there are some things that are too personal to publish on world wide web. And of course this list is evolving all the time! But these below have been pretty stable for a couple years now.

Outcomes
--------

These are outcomes that I want in life. Some are somewhat binary goals, others take consistent practice and I'm at varying degrees of attainment.

- Live in a walkable home
- Retire with the same standard of living we currently have by age 62
- Limit global warming to 2°C
- Be excellent at my work
- Live small and slow

Core values
