Fill in the wheel of life online below — name your areas, move the sliders from 0 to 10, then print it or save it as PDF or PNG — or download the blank printable template in A4 or US Letter. It’s free, there’s no sign-up, and your scores never leave your browser.

The wheel runs in your browser: your scores and labels are never sent anywhere, and there’s nothing to sign up for.

How to fill it in, in 5 steps

  1. Areas. The wheel starts with eight areas. Rename any that don’t fit your life, and pick how many you need, from 3 to 12.
  2. Score from 0 to 10. Score each area as it has been over the last month, not “on average across your life”. 0 means it doesn’t work for you at all; 10 means you wouldn’t change a thing. Go with the first number that comes to mind.
  3. One line of “why”. Each area has a “Why not one point higher?” field. A single sentence is enough — a month from now it will explain the score better than the number does.
  4. The “where I want to be” layer is optional. Turn it on and each area gets a second slider for where you’d like to be. It’s drawn as a dashed line over the shaded part.
  5. Keep the result. “Print / PDF” puts only the wheel, the score table and the date on the page; to get a file, choose “Save as PDF” in the print dialog. “Download PNG” and “Download SVG” save the wheel as an image.

A 0–10 or 1–10 scale makes no difference. What matters is using the same scale and the same areas next time, or you won’t be able to compare two wheels. The method and common mistakes are covered in the wheel of life guide.

If you’d rather use a pen, print the blank: eight segments with space for the area names, rings from 0 to 10, a table with a “why” field for each area, and a line for the date.

The template is black and white and comes in two paper sizes: US Letter and A4. If your printer adds margins, choose “Fit to page” in the print dialog. Use a pen of another colour for the “where I want to be” layer.

Which areas to use

Eight make a good start: health, work and career, money, family and partner, friends and community, personal growth, fun and hobbies, home and surroundings. It’s an example, not a rule — the method has no single list. Swap an area that isn’t yours, or split one in two if it covers too much. How to build your own list and define a 10 in each area is in the guide to life areas.

What next

The wheel starts a conversation with yourself; it doesn’t grade your life. Look at the filled-in wheel: which one or two areas need attention right now? Work on those and let the rest wait for the next time you fill it in. How to read your wheel helps you choose them, and From the wheel to goals turns the choice into a goal, a habit and time in your calendar.

The wheel is a tool for reflection, not a test: it has never been scientifically validated as a method, and there’s no “right” shape.

Privacy

Your scores, area names and “why” lines are stored only in this browser, so the wheel survives closing the tab. They never reach a server, and Yandex Metrica’s Webvisor, which records actions on this site’s pages, doesn’t record the wheel or its fields. “Clear” erases everything; in another browser or on another device the wheel starts afresh.
