I use the Wheel of Life quite often.
For those who don’t know it: it’s basically a pie chart where you rate major life areas (health, career, finance, relationships, etc.) on a 1–10 scale to see how balanced (or not) your life is.
Right now, my Wheel lives in Excel as a simple pie chart. I revisit it regularly, tweak the scores, and use it as a way to reflect on what’s improving and what’s stuck.
Recently I started thinking:
Could this be turned into a small side project?
I’m still very fuzzy on:
what the real functionality should be
and more importantly — how (or if) this could be monetized
The core goal is simple:
👉 help users improve their life metrics through awareness and analysis, not hustle or toxic positivity.
Some ideas I’ve considered:
adding psychological insights or prompts
using AI to suggest small, realistic actions based on low-scoring areas
positioning it as an addon for therapy / coaching platforms
But the last option feels very narrow, and I’m not sure the demand would justify building it.
So I’m stuck between:
“this is a nice personal reflection tool”
and “this could be a small but meaningful product”
I’d really appreciate any thoughts:
Does this sound like a real product or just a personal self-help habit?
Have you seen something similar done well?
Any ideas on positioning or monetization that don’t feel scammy?
Thanks for reading 🙏
