My First question is: How do I bridge the gap between what I want and how it relates to my values? I'm talking about pretty basic stuff here...

For example:

I love a clean, neat, organised environment. I mean I feel and function so much better when my desk, or my home, or my car is neat and tidy. However, I rarely have the desire to clean, therefore I have plenty of clutter in all these places most of the time. I keep getting the idea from Steve's website that instead of simply setting goals, I need to identify what I really value and the goals will sort of fall into place? As you can see, here is my dilema, I don't think I quite get it.

I really DO value a tidy environment - but I don't create a tidy environment. How do I make the leap to actually DOING what I prefer?

other examples:
I VALUE a close loving intimate marriage.. but my marriage right now is somehting far below that.

I VALUE leisure time.. time to read, meditate, take a bath, etc.. but I never have time for leisure beyond "stealing" 10 minutes here and there.

I am currently trying to figure out what my Life Purpose is and I figure all this somehow ties in with that.

I'd appreciate some "baby steps" advise to help me live my values in the meantime.

Thanks - this is my first post.
