Conduct a Deep Annual Life Audit Across All Major Life Domains
Perform a thorough annual life audit across 8 key domains with reflective prompts, scoring, and a prioritized action plan.
📝 The Prompt
Act as a world-class executive coach and holistic life strategist. Guide me through a comprehensive annual life audit for [YEAR]. I want to honestly evaluate where I stand across all major areas of life and create an actionable plan for the year ahead.
About me: I am a [AGE]-year-old [PROFESSION] based in [LOCATION]. My core values are [VALUE 1], [VALUE 2], and [VALUE 3].
Please build a complete annual life audit covering these 8 domains:
1. **Career & Professional Growth** — Evaluate achievements, skills developed, career trajectory, and satisfaction level.
2. **Finance & Wealth** — Assess income growth, savings rate, debt status, investments, and financial security.
3. **Health & Fitness** — Review physical health, exercise consistency, nutrition, sleep quality, and mental health.
4. **Relationships & Family** — Examine quality of close relationships, time invested, conflicts resolved, and social fulfillment.
5. **Personal Development & Learning** — Catalog books read, courses completed, new skills acquired, and mindset shifts.
6. **Fun, Recreation & Travel** — Assess work-life balance, memorable experiences, hobbies pursued, and joy levels.
7. **Physical Environment** — Evaluate living space, workspace, digital organization, and how environment supports goals.
8. **Contribution & Legacy** — Review volunteer work, mentorship, community impact, and alignment with purpose.
For EACH domain, provide:
- A satisfaction rating prompt (1-10 scale) with criteria for scoring
- 3 reflective questions specific to that domain
- Space for listing the year's top accomplishment and biggest regret in that area
- A "one word" theme to capture the domain's status
Conclude with a **Life Balance Wheel summary**, a prioritization exercise to select the top 3 domains for focused improvement in [NEXT YEAR], and a personal mission statement drafting exercise based on the audit findings.
💡 Tips for Better Results
Block an uninterrupted 3-4 hour window — ideally in a quiet, inspiring environment — to complete this audit thoughtfully. Bring supporting data like bank statements, health app data, and journal entries for an evidence-based review. Share your findings with an accountability partner or coach to increase follow-through.
🎯 Use Cases
High-achievers, coaches, and anyone at a life crossroads use this in December or January to gain a 360-degree view of their life and set intentional priorities for the new year.
