Personal Development & Coaching
Wheel of Life
Rate eight life areas from 1 to 10 and see how balanced your life feels right now.
- Time: 15 to 30 min
- With: Alone, or with a coach
- You get: A wheel that shows where life feels full and where it does not
How to use this worksheet
- Rate how satisfied you are in each area right now, not how you think you should feel. 1 is very unsatisfied, 10 is fully satisfied.
- Look at the shape of the wheel and at the two lowest areas.
- Ask which of the low areas matters most to you. Not every low score is a problem: some areas are fine at 6.
- Write one small step for the area you picked and put a date on it.
Rate each area
1 means very unsatisfied, 10 means fully satisfied.
Prompts
Ask yourself
- What would a 10 look like in this area?
- What is one thing that would move it up by a point?
Which areas will you work on, and what is the first small step?
Prompts and example
Example
Personal growth: block two evenings a week for the course. Fun: plan one weekend away by March.
Your wheel
Before you finish
- You rated how you feel now, not how you think you should.
- The lowest area you chose to work on matters to you.
- The next step is small and has a date.
About the wheel of life
The wheel of life is a coaching tool often attributed to Paul J. Meyer, founder of Success Motivation Institute, in the 1960s. Versions differ in the areas they use; the principle is the same.
The picture is a starting point for a conversation with yourself. Repeat it every few months to see change.
