The wheel of life can help you have a great year
Are you feeling overwhelmed at the number of things you’d like to improve and worried you won’t or can’t improve. Instead of goals use the wheel of life to find your priority annual theme.
Is my life balanced?
During the summer I reconsidered my digital life and that led to me asking myself if my life is balanced. Am I putting the correct amount of effort and time into the different parts of my life, or are some areas taking over to the detriment of others? I’ve realised it is not possible to do everything I want and by trying I’m creating stress. Does that sound familiar? My goal is to have my Continue Reading …
Tips for using wheel of life exercise
A wheel of life aims to highlight the areas of your life that you need to give more attention (or areas where you need to give less) so you can work towards a balanced life. I like the approach because it is a simple graphical representation, so I started using the method on a monthly basis to track progress on my goals. I started giving scores based on how I felt about each area, but Continue Reading …
Introducing wheel of life progress review (May 2009)
I have undertaken monthly reviews as well as wheel of life reviews for some time, however I felt I should be getting more out of these reviews to ensure I was working towards my goals. Although I think the wheel of life is a great tool to help develop your desired life balance, my concern was that it was subjective and therefore probably not a good monitoring tool. New wheel of life method To try Continue Reading …

Wheel of life July 2008: progress made
The first thing that is noticeable from the shape of my wheel this month compared to last month is the improvement in the vision area. I have finally committed to paper the first draft of my high level goals. The interesting thing is it didn’t take that long in the end due to the work I had done earlier, however I guess I was scared about finishing them. I don’t think they are correct yet, Continue Reading …
Wheel of life June 2008: things are looking good
Okay, its been a few months since I last did a wheel of life analysis, but I things are looking up in most of the categories. I’ve been to see the dentist and chiropractor and they both say everything is looking good which is great news (I always seem to develop imaginary tooth pain a few weeks before a dentist appointment). I’ve spoken to the majority of mine and my husband’s close family in the Continue Reading …
Wheel of life February 2008: at capacity?
Time really does go quickly when you’re busy and I can’t believe it has been a month since I last did this exercise. Unfortunately, because I’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to put the effort into progressing my wheel, however I feel most things are the same as last month although I have marked a few as slipping backwards. During the last month, I suffered a headache for almost a week, which I Continue Reading …
Wheel of life January 2008: making progress
When things start getting difficult you know things do not progress as you would like, so subconsciously you stop measuring them. I can not believe that the last wheel of life review I did was over three months ago. Anyway, I’m back to measuring and it is reassuring to see that I have made some progress in the last few weeks. There has been an equal number of areas decreasing and increasing, but I feel Continue Reading …
