This page refers to the J2ME version of Balance Your Life.
How can I create my own areas of life?
After you installed Balance Your Life on your mobile device, you can start to create your own areas of life. To do so, just start the application and open "Areas". From there you can choose "New area" and enter a name for the area e.g. "Friends". To find and name your own areas of life, just think about your life: What you are doing and how would you describe it? Examples for areas of life: Family, Job, Friends, Love and relationship, Hobbies, School, Studies, Sport, Health, Relaxing, Party or whatever you want.
How can I assign points to my areas of life?
To assign points to your areas of life, you will need to live your life for 24 hours and after that time you will have another option in the main menu: "Assign points".
Open "Assign points" and distribute the points to the areas. When you distribute all points then you will have the option to save.
How should I distribute the points?
How you distribute the points comes down in how you rate the past time. So think about what you did and how do you feel about it. Was it a good time, was it amazing? And why it was like that? Maybe you did something you never did before, or maybe you did something were you had fear before. So rate for your self. Find your own weighting. Maybe you are shy and you smiled at a woman and she smiled back? It was a short moment, but it was good for you, maybe the next time you will start to talk to her? So give points to "Love and relationship" or whatever you named it. So it is not all about how much time you spent to something or with someone. It is also the intensity and the quality that it has to you.
Why should I use Balance Your Life?
It is one way to start to change your life. If you repeat using Balance Your Life for a longer time you can find out new things about yourself. You find out what you are realy doing with your life and you see that you can change it if you want. Just start thinking about your life, be honestly with yourself and embellish nothing.
