The Work-Life Balance Quiz – Guaranteed To Change Your Life

Thanks for checking out my work-life balance quiz! If you’re here, you probably have questions… What exactly IS a healthy work-life balance, and why is it important?? There’s so much information out there these days about how we are constantly stressing ourselves out, overworking ourselves, and facing burnout. Quite frankly, all of the articles about feeling overwhelmed are overwhelming! (Sorry for the lame joke, but stay with me here…)

We WANT to improve our lives, simplify things, feel less stressed, and all that GOOD stuff. Right? Except there’s just. so. much. information… We’re gathering data from every corner, and often don’t know where to start!

We set ourselves (and our great goals and intentions) up for failure right off the bat.
But guess what?

Creating a GREAT work-life balance doesn’t have to be so hard. We just need to know where to focus our energy.

Instead of reading a bunch of articles and trying to decide what to do next, just answer these quick work life balance questions and see what areas of life (work, social, personal, family) you feel like you’re struggling in the most. 

You’ll also see what parts of work life balance you’re doing the best at! Yay!

This quiz helps you target the right areas first, so you can make REAL progress to feeling less stress, more connection, and a general sense of well-being and peace.

By working on specific areas in your life, you will:

• reduce your feelings of burnout
• prevent yourself from being overwhelmed as quickly
• and create a plan for yourself with simple goals that are easy to achieve.

In general, you will make MORE progress towards living your best life, FASTER, by knowing where to start.

That’s how you build a good work-life balance that leaves you feeling more in love with your everyday life. Trust me, having work life balance takes work, but is totally doable! You can read my about page to see my own struggles with work life balance! LOL!

To make this quiz as easy as possible for you, I have set this up as a quick list of specific work life balance questions below. Simple choose an answer, and the quiz will automatically give you a score and show you where to focus FIRST.

Quiz Instructions:

Use the scoring sheet at the end of the audit to determine your score. To be as accurate as possible, use your first reaction as your choice. Try not to hesitate or change your answers.

There are FIVE different sections of work life balance questions, with each section focused on a different aspect of work or life.

Once you finish all five sections and calculate your score, you will be able to use the overall score to determine if you have an optimal work+life balance.
