Wheel of life
Eight areas you rate from 0 to 10 — an overview of where life has tilted.
What it’s for
Dissatisfaction is often diffuse and impossible to get hold of. Ratings gather it into one place.
How it goes
- Draw a circle and divide it into eight: health, work, money, partnership, family, friends, free time, personal growth.
- Rate each segment from 0 (centre) to 10 (edge) and join the points.
- Look at the shape, not the individual ratings.
- Choose one area where a rise of one point would change the most.
