Ballast: Life Balance

About

Ballast gives you one short reading each morning, then asks you to score how the day actually went in four areas: Focus, Love, Money and Energy. Do that for a few weeks and something useful shows up. Not a mood graph, but a plain answer to a question most people avoid: which part of my life am I quietly starving? THE WHEEL Four spokes, one for each area. The length of a spoke is that area's 30 day average, and the ring sitting on it is today's score. The area that has gone longest without a check in is drawn faint, so the thin side of your month is the first thing you see. It is drawn from your own numbers and it moves only when they do. HOW IT WORKS Read. One sharp, unsentimental piece of writing each day, on one of your four areas. No filler and no affirmation voice. You can switch between all four of the day's readings whenever you want. Score. Rate each area from 1 to 5 in a few seconds, and add a short note if the day is worth remembering. Aim. Write one line under each area about what you actually want from it. Call Mum on Sundays. One deep work block before email. It sits above the score every day, so the number gets rated against your own intention instead of against nothing. Intentions are free. Look. The wheel, the 30 day average for each area, how long each one has gone untouched, and a running average across the last two weeks. When an area goes cold, Ballast says so plainly instead of letting it slide.
