The Bull's Eye
The Bull's Eye is a way of seeing, in one picture, how closely your life right now matches the life you want to be living. The board is split into four areas. For each one you write down what matters to you there, then mark where you actually stand today. A mark at the center means you are living fully by what you value in that area. A mark on the outer edge indicates living inconsistently with your values in that area.
A mark near the edge is information, not a failing. It's not uncommon for at least one area to drift while we're busy with something else. But knowing this can help us determine how we want to show up going forward. If you are still working out what you value, the list of 50+ personal values is a good place to borrow language from, or try the values card sort to narrow it down.
