LifeTime
Use this tool to evaluate how the activities you spend time on support a balanced life that fulfills your goals and values. By identifying your key life dimensions and the goals within each, you'll gain insight into how to allocate your waking hours for maximum fulfillment.
💡 Tip: While this tool can accommodate many answers, you're encouraged to simplify your number of choices wherever possible. Focus on what truly matters most to you.

Step 1: Select Your Life Dimensions
Which areas of life would you like to bring into balance? Select all dimensions that are important to you.
Step 2: Define Your Goals
For each life dimension you selected, describe at least one goal — something you'd like to achieve related to that dimension. Then provide a short 1-3 word summary for each goal.
💡 Examples: A social goal could be "maintaining a few close friendships." A physical goal could be "ample restful sleep." Feel free to write as much as you'd like in the description!
Step 3: Your Ideal Sleep
How many hours per night would you like to sleep on average? This helps us calculate your available waking hours for pursuing your life goals.
Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep per night for optimal health and functioning.
Step 4: Customize Your Time Allocation
Based on your life dimensions and goals, here's a suggested distribution of your waking hours. You can adjust the hours for both life dimensions and individual goals. When you change an allocation, other unlocked items will automatically rebalance.
💡 How to use:
- Adjust hours: Click on any hour value (dimension or goal) to change it. Unlocked items will automatically rebalance.
- Lock allocations: Click the 🔓 icon next to a dimension or goal to lock its hours and prevent automatic changes. Note: You can only lock when totals are within limits.
- Reset: Use the "Reset" button within a dimension to distribute that dimension's hours equally among its goals. Use "Reset All" at the bottom to restore all original allocations.
Step 5: Your Current Weekly Activities
Now, let's look at how you currently spend your waking hours. Enter the routine activities you do each week and estimate how many hours you spend on each.
💡 Examples of activities to list:
- Work/Job (include hours at workplace)
- Commuting to/from work
- Meals (preparing, eating, cleaning up)
- Exercise/fitness activities
- Socializing with friends/family
- Household chores & errands
- Personal grooming (showering, getting ready)
- Entertainment (TV, gaming, social media)
- Hobbies and personal interests
Tip: Try to account for all your waking hours. Bundle small activities together (e.g., "grooming" instead of listing showering, shaving, brushing teeth separately).
