Type a number (1,2, 3 etc) into each box on the left to show this order. Roll over the itmes in the list to see the card they represent.
Then click re-order to organise your list.
Next take a closer look at the colours of those cards you chose – each represents one of the four main areas of your life – your working, learning, playing and giving. Click here to find out how understanding these areas can help you get your life in balance.
