Here I am sharing my experience of more than three years using the wheel of life to evaluate my progress in life.
What is the wheel of life?
The wheel of life is a method I use to assess my monthly growth, which includes some essential life aspects, for example.
Money and finances, Friends, love, fun, entertainment, Spirituality, Growth, learning, work, and Health and Fitness.
Note: You can add what is important for you to evaluate.
What should you know before designing your wheel of life?
I consider the wheel of life to be something very personal, as you are the one who will assess yourself by yourself, so I need you to be very calm with a clear mind without any distractions and to be very honest with yourself while you are doing it, be straightforward, as this will help you to develop.
Why do you need to do a wheel of life? And is it necessary?
As I said earlier, I use the wheel of life to assess myself, so I use it to know my weaknesses and strengths in my specific side. Also, it helps me to focus more, define my responsibility, and improve my personal and professional aspects.
And no, It's unnecessary, but if you are keen on personal development and looking for a well-organized life, the wheel of life is a great and fun way to track yourself and a great way to reduce the messy life, focus on your strengths, improve your weakness, and advance your skills.
How to design your personal wheel of life?
It is simple and easy to make your wheel of life, as all you need is a pen and paper in addition to colouring pens; if you would like to make it more fun and attractive.
Here you go, draw your circle and start to section your aspects; write your element in each section and begin to rate it depending on your personal assessment.
As shown in the pictures.
I make my wheel of life in my bullet journal at the end of each month, and I love to colour my wheel to make it more exciting and easy to identify; for example, the yellow colour continually defines money and finance for me.
How does the wheel of life works?
The highest rate is 10/10. As shown in the pictures, after I finish my wheel, I summarise each aspect, give a reasonable reason for the decrease in the rating, and try to find the mistake I have made.
When should I do the wheel of life?
I advise doing it monthly at the end of each month to wrap up what happened in the previous months.
