self-knowledge.

Small tools to look at your life from different sides: spheres on a wheel, values on a bullseye, activities on an energy map, the four rays of a day. Wheel of life, Values and Energy map keep answers in your browser and export a context file for your agent. Krest opens a fictional web demo or its Mac app with your configured sources.

wheel of life

The spheres of your life on one wheel. Layers for then, suggested and now, templates from classic eight to PERMA, a two-week focus on one sphere.

values

Sort a deck of values, keep five, see on a bullseye how fully you live each one, name the barrier and one step for this week.

energy map

Put real activities on two axes: energy and importance. Spot important but draining work, choose one experiment and keep a dated observation.

Where the ideas come from

Every tool names its source, our adaptation, the role of the diagram and the result you can use. Ideas below are not release promises.

Wheel of life

available

Where does my life need attention now?

Origin, purpose and limits

Where the idea comes from

A coaching exercise used in Co-Active Coaching: rate satisfaction across life areas and examine the shape.

Our version

AIM adds editable areas, comparison layers and a two-week experiment. PERMA-H is a set of area labels here; the PERMA questionnaire is not administered.

Why a visual interface

An overlay makes uneven areas and changes between dates visible together. The shape helps you choose a focus.

With an agent

A conversation can help explain a score. Export your map so the agent can ask about one concrete difference.

What you take away

One area, a small action and a date to look again.

How to interpret it

Self-ratings depend on your context. A round wheel and a score of ten in every area are optional; no diagnostic interpretation is built in.

Values

available

What matters to me, and how does it show up in my actions?

Origin, purpose and limits

Where the idea comes from

Two practices: Personal Values Card Sort by Miller, C’de Baca, Matthews and Wilbourne (2001), and Tobias Lundgren’s Bull’s Eye in ACT.

Our version

AIM combines its own 42-word deck, five chosen values, four life areas, a 0–10 action rating and a weekly step. This combination is an adaptation; the original survey’s validation does not establish validity for this app.

Why a visual interface

The centre means your recent actions express a value fully (10); the edge means little expression (0). Distance represents action alignment. Angle only groups values by life area. On the wheel, ten is at the outer edge; on this target, ten is at the centre.

With an agent

You can do the whole exercise with an agent. The board keeps all five values visible at once; an agent can help examine a conflict and formulate a feasible step. Copy the context deliberately.

What you take away

Choose a value, name one recent example and one action for the next seven days. Example: connection → call a friend on Thursday.

How to interpret it

A point far from the centre is a question to explore. You decide whether to act on it. Ratings describe this period and carry no personality or clinical diagnosis.

Energy map

available

Which activities give energy, and which important ones need a different arrangement?

Origin, purpose and limits

Where the idea comes from

An original AIM reflection canvas (2026). It combines two ordinary self-ratings: energy after an activity and its personal importance.

Our version

Rate actual activities from the last seven days, place them on two axes and choose one experiment. No external questionnaire is scored.

Why a visual interface

A meaningful but draining activity appears separately from easy, low-importance activity. Moving a point tests your interpretation; it does not change what happened.

With an agent

Export a compact note and ask an agent for alternative ways to do one draining activity. The choice and ratings stay yours.

What you take away

One experiment: do more, change the conditions, delegate, reduce or deliberately keep as is.

How to interpret it

An author-created reflection aid with no psychometric validation. Energy is a subjective observation; importance does not imply an obligation to continue.

Krest

available

What changes when I view a day through four directions?

Origin, purpose and limits

Where the idea comes from

An AIM product model: obligations, resources, past and future.

Our version

The web page offers fictional examples. The Mac app uses the sources you configure and keeps an observation history.

Why a visual interface

Four directions keep competing demands visible together. History compares compatible observations.

With an agent

An agent can help interpret an observation. Source coverage and your judgement still matter.

What you take away

One deliberate change to the day.

How to interpret it

An author-created lens; no validated psychological score is claimed.

Dilts levels

idea · no release date

At what level am I describing a change?

Origin, purpose and limits

Where the idea comes from

Robert Dilts’s logical levels, developed within NLP with reference to Gregory Bateson.

Our version

Candidate: a stack of questions about context, action, skills, beliefs, identity and purpose.

Why a visual interface

A stacked view could reveal that a practical problem is being described as an identity judgement.

With an agent

A conversation can ask the same questions. Build the canvas only if comparing levels makes the answer clearer.

What you take away

A revised description and one practical action.

How to interpret it

A coaching model. We do not infer a cause or a weak level from a score. No release date is promised.

Year review

idea · no release date

Which experiences should I repeat or redesign?

Origin, purpose and limits

Where the idea comes from

Inspired by structured retrospective journals such as YearCompass.

Our version

Candidate: a timeline of your own observations with evidence and a next-period choice.

Why a visual interface

A timeline can show recurring clusters that get lost in a long conversation.

With an agent

An agent can interview you and draft a synthesis; you check it against the timeline.

What you take away

A short repeat / change list.

How to interpret it

A reflection proposal; calendar access and automatic import are not implemented.

Strengths context

idea · no release date

How do I explain useful patterns to my agent?

Origin, purpose and limits

Where the idea comes from

An AIM proposal for organising results and examples you choose to bring.

Our version

No proprietary tests or question sets are reproduced. A future version would preserve source, date and your corrections.

Why a visual interface

A visual interface must earn its place through comparing examples; a short note may be enough.

With an agent

An agent can already help organise a report you are allowed to share.

What you take away

A user-reviewed context note.

How to interpret it

Idea only. Test results would retain their original limits; no personality inference from chat history.

Source: AIM author-created model, 2026.

one observation, one experiment

A score describes a moment. Choose one small experiment and return to the saved observation to discuss what changed.

The about-me export is a short Markdown block with your map and three rules for the agent. Put it into your assistant's context and it plans with you, not around you.
