Would you like to improve your work life balance or identify other areas of your life that you can improve to increase your happiness?

One tool that we regularly use with our clients who are looking to increasing their personal happiness and success is the Wheel of Life. This is a very simple yet powerful tool to help you identify the areas of your life that you have neglected and need to prioritise more in future. It takes less than 10 minutes to complete.

Instructions for Completing the Wheel

Give yourself a score of 1 to 10 depending on how satisfied you currently are in relation to each area on the wheel where 1 is pretty much as unhappy as you can be whereas 10 is the perfect score.. As you score each area it is vital to be honest so that you can identify the areas for change and set goals to improve the key areas of your life.

When you have scored all areas join the points on each section to draw a wheel. This will show you how balanced overall your life is and the areas you really need to focus on and set goals for improvement.

If you click on the link below you can see a copy of a blank wheel which you can print and complete. It also includes a very brief description of each heading. However these are just suggested areas to look at. You may decide to replace any of the headings with one which you feel is not covered and which is particularly important to you.

Wheel of Life – with explanation of each section

After you have completed the wheel put a date on it and then review it at least every 6 months. Hopefully you will have made significant improvements in your key areas but may find that another area now requires your focus instead.
