Write these actions down in order of priority in the space provided to be developed later into goals, and add a dateline for actioning each one. Review the options you have just created and choose which three actions you feel would benefit you the most. Let’s pause a moment to look at a hypothetical example of the use of template 1 on the next page:Ĥ) Turning now to your Wheel of Life Shortlist template (Template 2), fill in your name and the date once again then, while referring to your Wheel of Life (Template 1), create a short list of the three most important areas of your life (as represented by segments of your wheel) that you feel need enhancement and write down three possible actions you could take for each one that would improve matters. It is important to interpret what your wheel is showing you with a liberal application of common sense. Attention, awareness and action might be required to keep the score high. By the same token, don’t just assume because a segment gets a high score that no further work is needed and you can sit on your laurels. It may not be the right time for it to take priority, but at the same time be careful you are not avoiding something uncomfortable. The wheel highlights areas that require attention, but bear in mind that if a sector gets a low score, that does not necessarily mean you want to attend to it right now, or ever. 3) Now look at each segment in turn, especially the low scoring ones, and decide which ones you wish rated higher. Do the same with every segment in the wheel and don’t feel badly if they vary wildly in their scores. For example, if you decided your finances were in a reasonable state but not brilliant and you felt a score of 5 would be about right, draw a line across the Finance segment about half way up, because 5 is approximately at the half way point. Now draw a line at the relevant point across the segment in question. 2) Go round the circle (Template 1) with a pen or pencil and consider each segment in turn, asking yourself how you feel (not what you think) about the subject represented by that segment at this moment, and give it a score from 0 – 10, where 0 is low and 10 is high. Wheel of Life – Instructions 1) Fill in your name and the date above your wheel (Template 1). Use of both templates is explained on the following pages. You will also need to print copies of this page. Now imagine each section divided across by ten equal divisions numbered with invisible numbers from 0 in the middle to 10 on the circumference (see example on fifth page of this document).īefore you start this exercise it is important to write the date on your wheel so you can do it again at regular two or three monthly intervals and compare the result with previous efforts to assess your progress.īelow you will see another template entitled Wheel of Life Shortlist (Template 2). You need to print some copies of this before we start. You can also introduce new labelled segments to the wheel. If you don’t agree with one of the labels you are perfectly at liberty to change it or delete it, and the segment. Each segment has a label and represents an area of your life. It’s divided into twelve segments and looks not unlike a pie chart, except that each segment is equal.
WHEEL OF LIFE The diagram or template on the next page represents a wheel – the wheel of your life. It is also very useful for measuring progress and change. It gives you an instant visual check on which areas of your life need work and which don’t, and helps you quickly evaluate which are the most and least urgent. This is a brilliant diagnostic tool used by coaches the world over in one form or another for enabling their clients to see instantly where their life is at right now.
