Careers involve several life roles, such as worker, learner, citizen, homemaker and leisurite, that vary in importance across life stages.
When to use it
Use it when balancing work with other roles or planning around a life transition.
How to apply it
- List the roles you hold now.
- Estimate the time and energy each takes.
- Note which roles you want to grow or shrink.
- Consider how this may change over the next five years.
- Make one change that brings your roles closer to what you want.
Tip: Career decisions made without considering other roles often fail to stick.
