goals_on_dwOne of the tasks in The Artist's Way that resonated with me (even tho I've never finished the whole 12 weeks) was the "life pie" (sometimes called a "life wheel"). Basically, you chart out your life in terms of spirituality, exercise, play, work, romance(/adventure), and friends, and mark how fulfilled you feel in each area; closer to the middle means you're unfulfilled, on the outer edge of your chart means you're 100% happy. (In the book, Julia Cameron says you can switch out "romance" for "adventure" if that's more relevant to you.) Here's an example of someone's life pie.
Searching around, I also found someone else's life pie with different slices: parenting, spiritual, personal growth, business/career/studies, finance/wealth, health/fitness, social/friends, family, romance/love, and recreation/fun. This one includes "physical environment" while this one is set up differently (more readable, imho) and includes "diet" and "mindset."
This year, I plan to do a life wheel every month and watch the fluctuations: is an area consistently low? is something that was high suddenly dropping? where do I feel mostly content? Like I said, I like this activity.
I'm curious (and, OK, shamelessly looking for ideas about) what "slices" you would put on your life pie. When I recently did a (related but slightly different) self care activity, the areas that I identified were: creative, enrichment, interpersonal, spiritual, embodiment, career, and rest.

Thank you!

Those appear in the Round Trackers post. This style is very popular so there are many examples online, including blanks where you can write your own categories.

That's nicely inclusive. You could also use friendship, family, or relationships.

That's a great idea.
