The Wheel of Life
How to think about your visions, goals, and strategies in 6 different life areas
I wonder about this question a lot.
While we spend most of our time at work, there is more of life than that. Being aware of different areas of life gives us a few advantages.
First, it enables a more balanced life. Without knowing different areas of life, it’s easy for us to overly focus on one area and ignore the other.
Second, it helps us identify our source of energy and emotions. Knowing these areas gives you a clearer picture of which areas fuel you up or drain your energy the most. At the very least, you’ll know where you should improve to make your life better.
The last benefit might not be obvious. Thinking about your life in different areas allows insights to flow which helps in generating new ideas. These ideas could be the seeds we use in creating art if you’re a creative or a solution to a problem we’re working on.
