What is Annual Life Audit?

Once a year, rate every major life area on a 1-10 scale: health, career, finances, relationships, personal growth, fun/recreation, physical environment, and contribution. Identify the 2-3 areas with the lowest scores and make them your priority for the next year. Prevents drift and ensures intentional living.
