• Online. We are working on an elegant web version of the Grid; can’t
say how soon it will be done. Meantime, I have given my friend Beverly
Ryle permission to produce a simpler online version of my Prioritizing
Grid, that is automated and interactive. It is found at www.​beverlyryle.​
com/​prioritizing-grid and it is free. You can use my ten-item Grid there,
or customize a Grid for any number (of items) you choose. Needless to
say, you can use her website as many times as you wish, and print out the
results each time for your own keeping.
6. Conclusion: Prioritizing the Petals
Before you go on to fill in the petals in the next chapter, it is sometimes
helpful to ask yourself: in the abstract which petals—which parts of a job
—do you instinctively feel are most important to you—at least for now—
and in what order?
a. the salary?
b. the geographical location?
c. the people you work with?
d. the look and feel of your workplace?
e. the degree to which it gives you a sense of purpose for your life, or
fits in with the purpose you want your life to serve?
f. the degree to which it lets you use your favorite skills, abilities, or
talents?
g. the degree to which this job lands you in your favorite field or fields
of knowledge and interest?
You can just guess in what order these are important to you. Or you can
use a seven-item Prioritizing Grid to get this exactly right. (For a paper
version, take a ten-item Grid, draw a horizontal line in Section B, just
below the seventh item in Section A, and don’t use any boxes in Section B
that are below that line. Or if you have access to the Web, you can go to
Beverly Ryle’s website, and create a customized interactive seven-item
Grid, found at http://www.​beverlyryle.​com/​prioritizing-grid.)
