Life Balance Assessment
The Life Balance Assessment asks you to score how much room you are able to give to the different areas of your life — work, relationships, health, rest, personal growth — and draws a balance profile from your answers.
The sense that something is missing, even when the days are full, often comes from a single area being quietly neglected: health is fine but no time is left for relationships, or work is growing while rest is shrinking. This assessment makes that quiet imbalance visible by asking you to score the areas of your life one by one. The aim is not to give your life a mark but to map where your attention goes; once the map exists, you decide where to turn.

Frequently asked questions
How often is it worth repeating the assessment?
Repeating it every few months is interval enough to see change. Repeating it very often raises the risk of mistaking daily fluctuation for a trend, while repeating it too rarely misses shifts between periods.
All my areas came out low; what should I do?
First consider whether the period in which you scored yourself was out of the ordinary; a week of intense crisis can spread the picture across everything. If the picture persists, rather than trying to correct everything at once it is more realistic to start with the single area that will have the most effect, which for most people is sleep and rest.
Should I share my results with anyone?
It is not obligatory, but talking to someone you trust gives you an outside view of your own scores; people can be blind to their own neglect. Whether you share is entirely your decision; the data are in your browser alone in any case.
Does balance mean giving equal time to every area?
No; balance is a conscious distribution, not an equal division. What matters is not giving every area the same hours but making sure that no important area is left entirely unattended for long.
Method and formula
The tool is a scored self-assessment inspired by the “wheel of life” approach common in coaching practice: you give each of a set of areas — work and productivity, relationships, health and movement, rest and sleep, personal growth, financial order — a score reflecting your satisfaction today. The result is presented as a profile showing how the areas stand relative to one another, with the strong areas and the areas asking for attention visible together. The assessment is not diagnostic; your answers are processed in your browser.
How to read the result
When reading the profile it matters to know that the goal is not full marks in every area; life has its seasons, and one area coming to the fore is often a deliberate choice. What to look at is whether a low score comes from choice or from neglect: “I am putting myself into work right now, and I know it” and “I have not thought about my health in a long time” are different situations. Choosing a single area that is asking for attention and defining one small, concrete step there — with the Habit Builder, if that helps — is the most practical way to move from the profile to action.
Limits
- Scores are affected by your mood on the day; a tired evening and a rested morning can produce different profiles.
- The area headings are general; an area that matters in your life may not appear on the list exactly.
- The profile cannot show causal relationships between areas; a low sleep score may be lowering the scores of other areas as well.
- This is not a psychological scale or a clinical assessment.
Safety boundary
This tool is not an instrument of diagnosis or treatment. Beyond any scoring, if you are experiencing unhappiness, burnout or hopelessness that has become persistent, approaching a mental health professional is the most valuable step you can take on your own.
