Balance module
Life Areas
See whether life is balanced by the domains that actually matter.
Life Areas gives clients a structured map of the major domains of life. It turns goals, habits, people, learning, and notes into a more balanced view than productivity alone can provide.
What it changes
A balance dashboard for the client’s real life.
Connect goals, habits, people, learning, notes, and records to areas.
See which domains are active and which are being neglected.
Use area context to make reviews more honest.
