A companion to The Psychology of Meaningful Progress
The Life Balance Compass is an A3 wall chart you fill in by hand — one dot for every part of your life, once a month, for a year. By December, ten hand-drawn lines tell the story.

Step one — once
Write your name at the top, the year in the hub, and your own word for each domain on the rim — Health might be “sleep”, Family might be “sunday lunch”.
Step two — monthly
Each month, one dot per wedge: where are you between the future you fear and the future you want? Join it to last month’s dot. That’s the whole ritual.
Step three — december
Ten hand-drawn year-lines — the ups, the downs, and the direction of a life. No app, no streak, no notifications. Paper remembers.
The idea underneath
The centre of the wheel is the future you fear. The rim is the future you want. Every dot is an honest answer to one question: this month, where am I between the two?
The engine it trains: meaningful goal → focused action → visible progress → positive emotion → more motivation — around again, ten domains at a time.
Printed on 200 gsm matte paper and shipped to you. Your name and year stay handwritten — that's the point.
Your year starts when you do — the wheel runs twelve months from the month you pick.
On printed sheets you write these in yourself — the preview just shows how they'll sit.
