Research has shown if you write down your goals you are 70% more likely to achieve them - JUST by writing them down. If you are in any stage of life reflection & want to review your focus - this wheel is a great place to begin 🎯
The idea of the Wheel of Life is that every part of our life is important, and when one area is out of harmony or out of balance, it puts a strain on the other areas.
Once you know which areas you want to focus on, the next step is to set goals in each of the areas that will help you bring about the level of achievement or accomplishment you desire.
7 Steps To Setting "Actionable" Goals
Step 1: Identify the Goal. Write a clear description of what you want to achieve.
Step 2: List the Benefits. Write out what reward, benefit or positive outcome you will achieve when you reach your goal.
Step 3: List Obstacles That Could Get In Your Way. Things like having enough time, limited resources or simply lack of.
Step 4: List the Skills and Knowledge Your Need To Reach Your Goal. Even if it’s information you don’t yet have, write it down, then go to Step 5.
Step 5: Identify the People and Groups To Work With. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, outsource an action item (or a few) and enlist people who can help you reach your goal.
Step 6: Develop a Plan of Action. Write out each step or task that you’ll need to complete in order to reach your goal as well as how you’ll achieve it.
Step 7: Set a Deadline. The great thing about actionable goals is there is an end in sight. Set a deadline based on your plan of action and list of obstacles and knowledge required. This means you may need to give yourself more time to complete certain milestones, but do your best to set a firm deadline to give yourself a date to work towards.
The Wheel of Life is separated into 7 parts and each of the parts relates to the 7 areas of your life.
Your Personal Life and Social Life: This includes who you spend your time with as well as the things you spend your personal time doing. Are you spending time connecting with those who encourage your growth?
Your Work Life: Are you where you would like to be in your work or career?
Your Family Life: Do you spend time nurturing your family relationships?
Your Spiritual Life: Do you make time to study and grow spiritually?
Your Money: How well are you doing to meet your monthly, yearly budget? Are you saving? Investing?
Your Mind/Intellect: Do you read books, learn new things, study to improve your knowledge and develop yourself personally and keep your mind strong?
