Nir Eyal briefly explains how to determine someone's true values by observing where they spend money and time, then advises converting stated values into scheduled actions using timeboxing. He recommends placing important tasks in the calendar down to the minute to create constraints that force prioritization, asking readers to consider how their ideal future self would allocate time.

You are going to turn your values into time. If you want to know what someone's values really are, you only look at two places. You look at how they spend their money and how they spend their time. And so what you want to do is to help your client turn those values into time by making time for traction. This is where this, I think, incredibly underutilized technique of time boxing comes in, which means you're going to take those things on your to do list based on your values, based on what's important to you in work and at home, and you're going to put it in your calendar, and I mean down to the minute, because calendars have constraints. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. So timeboxing, unlike to do lists, forces you to figure out what's more important. How would the person you want to become spend their time.
