By taking the key five metrics of your life and condensing it into one simple metric, you can get a general idea of how well you're doing in life. It will also help you realise in which areas you need to add a little more focus. The idea is similar to Tony Robbins' Wheel of Life - where life is analogous to a wheel and if are gaps it won't be a smooth journey. You can also make smart decisions by comparing two choices using our weighted decision matrix that uses your Life Score data to help you decide the best choices for you.
