Are you making the grade?

A few weeks ago met up with a group of friends and one of them asked me if I kept score with how I was progressing with my life. It was a great question and the shocking reality was that I had never seen a way to measure how I was doing.

So here is my first attempt at creating the My Life List™ Report Card.

Relationships (25%)
1. Do you have a romantic partner? If yes how would you rate the quality of your relationship? (0 to 10)
2. Do you spend quality time with your Friends (0 to 5)
3. Do you have Children? If yes how would you score your relationship with your kids? If you don’t have kids are you happy with your decision? (0 to 5)
4. Are you close with your family? (parents, brothers & sisters) (0 to 5)

Score ____/25

Career & Finance (25%)
1. Are you happy in your Career? (0 to 10)
2. Are you financially secure? (0 to 10)

Aviva, That is fantastic. Its fun to review your roadmap and know you are on track!! The nice thing is to celebrate what is going well across all aspects of your life. For me it really helped me to define what needs to be at the top of my list.
