Set Life Goals With Level 10 Life Bullet Journal Page Ideas
There are many Bullet Journal page ideas to help you achieve your goals, and today we’ll be covering a level 10 life spread.
Whether it’s making more time for yourself or striving towards bigger achievements, setting achievable life goals can make a huge difference.
Level 10 life, if you’re wondering, is an amazing practice that greatly helps you with your personal development and life goals.
In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to set meaningful life objectives with the help of Level 10 Life’s creative Bullet Journal page templates.
I first discovered “Level 10 Life” while setting up my Bullet Journal. I was looking for a tool to help me find a direction for my future goals and personal development, so I came by this technique.
It greatly impacted me, and believe me; I’m not the same person I was – I found my life purpose, and I found who I want to be, and I became that person (well, in some ways, I still don’t drink enough water haha)
So let’s talk about this concept, how it can help you crush your goals, and, of course, how to set it up in your Bullet Journal.
And be sure to scroll until the end to get some more resources and free printables to help you crush your goals.

What Is Level 10 Life?
The Level 10 life concept was created by Hal Elrod in his bestselling book “The Miracle Morning”.
He explains it like this: “If we’re measuring our levels of success/satisfaction in any area of our lives, we all want to live our best lives at a ‘Level 10’ in each area.
Creating your ‘Level 10 Life’ begins with creating an honest assessment of where you are.”
So what is level 10 life?
It’s a way to assess your point A and understand what your point B should be. Before you can achieve your goals, you have to have a clear understanding of where you stand at the moment, and level 10 life is what helps you with it.
How Does Level 10 Life Work?
It is pretty simple, so just go through these steps, and you will be all set!
Stage 1: set up and evaluate
You create a circle graph (more on this further down the line in the setup section), divided into 10 parts – 10 major areas of your life. Each area should be assessed from 1 to 10, according to how you feel about it.
You gotta be honest here, though; make sure you assess it according to your feelings, not society’s expectations!
Done? Now color the sections of each area according to how many points you gave to each area.
Stage 2: write your goals
Once you’re done with that, think about your life for each area to be at 10.
It’s important, though, that you realize it’s not an easy task to have everything at ten, so maybe getting it one level up is a good enough idea to start with.
But now that you have a good image of what your improved life looks like, it’s time to set your goals. I always recommend starting with 3 goals for each area you decide to work on.
This exercise is a one-time evaluation, meaning that you don’t do anything else with this scale. You just make it, figure out your next steps, and you’re done.
Stage 3: Repeat
What you can do is repeat this exercise once in a while. I do it once a year but feel free to do it as often as you need since it’s a great way to evaluate your life and get back on the right track when you feel a bit lost.
level 10 life categories
As Hal Elrod suggested, the original concept has 10 different areas.
They encompass everything important and influential in our lives and create a full detailed picture of our current situation. Let’s look into the areas:
Family And Friends
People are social creatures; that’s just a fact. Even introverts like myself need our close trust circle. Maintaining good relationships with your family and friends is one of the most crucial aspects of life.
The relationships you have define you in more ways than you think. So having healthy and happy relationships with your friends and family is one of the cornerstones of building your success.
Think about what you can do to improve these connections. Be selfless – think about how you can help these people and what you can give them that they might be lacking.
All this energy will be given back to you twofold. It doesn’t have to be complicated either; a small act of kindness can move your relationships a long way.
Don’t forget that you grow with the people around you. So try to surround yourself with positive, successful, inspiring people. People who will motivate you to improve and be better every day. I’d like to include here not only working on your existing relationships but also working on creating new ones.
Some possible goals you might have are:
- Call grandparents every week
- Monthly friends’ meetup
- Spa day with girls
- Visit family at least once a year (for those of us who live so far away)
- Go to at least one event per month to meet new people
Personal Development
Hal Elrod teaches us that the road to success starts with personal development. The first step towards your goals is to transform. To become the person you need to be to achieve the success you want from your life.
The goals you’re setting here are steps toward you becoming a better version of yourself.
Think of what stops you from achieving the success you want, and add here what you need to change in yourself to get rid of this stopper. Think of the ways you can enrich your mind and the habits you should include to mold yourself into that perfect person you always wanted to be.
Some possible goals you might have are:
- Read 15 min daily
- Learn a new skill
- Start keeping a journal with daily thoughts and ideas
- Attend a conference or a seminar
- Listen to podcasts instead of music while driving
Spirituality
This concept shouldn’t be overlooked even if you don’t believe in a higher power. It means something different for each one of us, after all. It can be religion, meditation, or simple acts of kindness toward the people around us.
Spirituality is about connecting with something bigger than us, and you can choose to do it in any way you like. Here are some of my spirituality goals as an example:
- Daily meditation practice
- Daily gratitude log
- 5 minutes at the end of the day to reflect upon it
- Find what spirituality means to me personally
- The daily act of kindness
Finances
We all want financial prosperity and independence, but what does it mean to you? What stops you from having level 10 finances? Do you want to save more, or earn more, or maybe you want to clean up your debts?
There are many factors in play, so start by thinking about what is the most crucial issue for you right now. Some examples of financial goals are:
- Save 10% from each paycheck
- Pay off credit card debts
- Grow income by 10%
- Lower student loans debt
- Develop a money management system that works for you
Career
Work is where we spend a significant part of our lives, so wouldn’t you say it’s important to make sure you’re happy there? The only one stopping you from being happy with your career is yourself! There are always opportunities when you look for them.
What would make you happy with your career? Do you like what you do but just want to take the next step? Do you hate your boss and the working environment? Or maybe you want to work from home?
Ask yourself all the questions to discover how you can get the level 10 career you deserve!
Some examples of goals are:
- Get certification in your field
- Join a networking group of like-minded professionals
- Try yourself in a new field of work
- Look for job opportunities in your dream company
- Attend a conference in your niche
Romance
I’m happy that this was put in a separate category – your relationships with your other half are very different from all the others, requiring a very different approach.
You can do many things, and the most important is to remember that relationships require work.
It’s important to be mindful and not take anything for granted. I will give some of the goal examples below but remember that all couples are different, and have your relationships in mind when you set yourself goals in this area.
Some possible goals you might have are:
- Listen to your partner more mindfully
- Have a date night once a week
- Randomly remind him/her how much they mean to you
- Try new experiences together
- Cook dinner together once a week
Fun & Recreation
You can’t be on your level 10 self if you don’t get enough rest. Here I don’t mean being a blob… DON’T BE A BLOB … but actively do fun things and create more energy out of it.
Think big – what makes you happy when you’re doing it? What did you always want to do but never allow yourself? What stops you from just doing it?
Here are some of my goals, which can give you an idea:
- Visit one new place this year
- Practice brush calligraphy
- Learn a new creative skill
- Visit a new restaurant/bar every month
Giving & Contribution
By giving to others, you don’t just improve somebody else’s life; you also impact your own. You can’t help everyone, of course, but just think of the little thing you can do.
It might be insignificant to you, but it means the world to others!
It’s hard to donate money, especially if you’re struggling yourself. But it doesn’t have to be just that. You can donate your time and care. Sometimes even just a smile at a stranger can make their day.
Some of the goals you can set for yourself:
- Donate the clothes/shoes I don’t wear anymore
- Buy a coffee for the person after you inline
- Spend a day helping at a shelter
- Volunteer in the local community
- Support a small business owner
Physical Environment
Ever noticed that when you wake up in the morning to a sink full of dishes, your day gets less productive and pretty slow? I did; I feel more energy and will to do things and improve myself when my physical environment is nice and enjoyable.
Don’t underestimate the influence of the surroundings on everything from your mood to the amount of work you can do. Mind you; it doesn’t mean you need to start redecorating and throwing away everything you own.
Just make sure you create a physical environment that allows you to feel happy and productive. Here are some goals I defined for myself:
- Declutter the house
- Reorganize the drawers
- Make sure the blinds are easily accessible for opening and bringing in more light
- Develop and stick to a cleaning schedule
- Get a wake-up light therapy alarm clock
Health & Fitness
Your success starts and ends with your health, so you need to pay extra attention to your health and diet.
For me, the difficult part was always a motivation, and here is where my Bullet Journal came into play.
Some of my personal health-related goals are:
- Join a yoga studio
- Drink enough water every day
- Start the morning with a smoothie
- Cut down on sugar consumption
- Start planning out my meals weekly
Any other options?
The original system does suggest you should have level 10 in all of these areas since they do encompass your whole life.
However, I figured that you could kind of play around with it. As you saw on my page, I only had 8 areas in my level 10.
Some people might use even less.
The way I see it – it’s pretty hard to concentrate and work on everything together. So it’d be useful to have fewer areas every time you do this exercise, but then do it more often and switch your focus.
For example, If you check my Level 10 spread, I don’t have Romance.
Romance isn’t there because it’s not something I can (or even want to) work on right now, so instead, I work on the areas I can improve.
Another way to divide your life into areas is by the role you play – mother, sister, daughter, or manager. Alternatively, you can just think of what areas of life are important for you at the moment and just work on that.
Here are some ideas for other areas you might want to consider:
- Travel
- Career
- Fertility
- House
- Mental health
- Professional Development
- Pets
- Skills
- Crafts
- Hobbies
- Values
Setting Up A Level 10 Life Bullet Journal Page
The original design is as follows: on one side, a pie chart, a circle is divided into 10 parts, and each part is divided into 10 layers.
Each section should be named according to the area of your life it represents, and each of the 10 parts in the section should be numbered.
That way, you can see in one glance how you evaluated each area. On the other side, you write down all the areas and your goals for each one. Pretty easy, right?
However, it wouldn’t be a Bullet Journal spread if the community didn’t come up with many other cute ideas to make the designs more personal.
There are many other creative ways to show all the areas and their evaluation without drawing circles! Simply check some of these amazing ideas below, and I’m sure you’ll find a way that fits your style.

- Sakura Pigma Micron – you’ll definitely need a good set of fineliners, and these are some of the best.
