I often find myself drowning in a sea of solvable problems.
There is just so much to do. All. The. Time.
We make choices all day on what we’ll spend our time on. Mulitasking is a myth, any time spent on A is time not spent on B. We are always sacraficing. It’s easy to sacrafice in an area for too long.
This tool can help bring that to the surface in 6 quick steps.
The Wheel of Life:
1️⃣ Draw a circle
2️⃣ Divide it into 6 segments, like pieces of pie
3️⃣ Label each segment with the “Dimensions of Life”. Here are mine:
– Family
– Relationships
– Career
– Money
– Fitness
– Mindset
4️⃣ Color in each segment with how you feel in that moment
5️⃣ Reflect on the results. Can you improve anything
6️⃣ Set a goal, track it.
It will look like this:
I used this a few years ago to help my family get out of a rut. Our four year old was kicking and screaming before school which was making me late to work, and late to home. I had no time for myself. But The Wheel of Life gave us an opportunity to reflect on the root cause of the vicious cycle. We set a simple goal, and used that goal to turn everything around in a single week.
