Balanced life questionnaire

We often hear a term balanced life. But that does it mean? How to understand where is a balance and what is the shortest way to get it?

There is no simple answer that fits for all, because everyone is unique. Here is a set of possible questions that can help to understand a style of keepping up a balance.

1. Write tasks that you most likely do in the next day or two. Set importance of each task using ABC or Covey's scheme, where A - tasks that must be done, and very soon; B - important tasks as A, but can wait a bit; C - tasks whose require an immediate attention, but can be skipped without a risk; and D - nice to have tasks.
2. Sometimes we do our work in any order but not as logical ABC priorities suggest. It does make sense to freeze for a minute think about the current actions and adjust ABCs.
3. Are there tasks essential for your personal or professional goals?
4. Do you plan to learn something new?
5. Is there a time for breakfast, fitness, maybe relaxation? Do you usually have regular breakfasts and meals?
6. Try to estimate percentage of your tasks which will produce a value for your company, colleagues or for your boss, maybe someone else, but not you. Is there a space for your own goals?
7. Do you have a time for D-tasks?
8. Imagine, if tomorrow is a holiday. Do you have A, B, C or D tasks in your list for this case?
9. Here is a space for your personal tasks, maybe for the next holiday? How many of them include family, friends or hobby?

There is always a place for more questions. Try to figure out more tests suitable personally for you to keep your life balanced. Do it regularly, e.g. every Monday. This list is like a book with a new content every time you read. Continue asking yourself these questions and find your balance and happiness.
