Life Grid

If you’ve reached this page, it’s likely that you’ve heard Ace, Alan, Candace, or Scott speak about having a “Life Grid” that helps you define what you want and to measure success by progress rather than absolutes. We hope the template is helpful. If you have comments or questions, please email us at hello@envoyportolio.com

The Life Grid Template

Download the template here. Add and remove categories as you wish. Add descriptions for what you (not anybody else) define as acceptable, good, great for each. Highlight the box where you currently are. Then write in the next steps to move your box to the right until you’re at great. Use it to be grateful for what you have, and put a plan together for what you want in life. It’s silly, but it’s also not. And it’s good for filtering out distractions, energy-sucking “friends”, and investing your time and resources in things that nourish you. - Ace, Alan, Candace, and Scott.
