Life skills involve a wide range of abilities key to personal, social, and professional competency. Below, each item has a ranking (10 = BEST) to assess how you feel about your proficiency. Since this is only for you, be unapologetically honest with yourself.

Now that you know, you can decide where you want to be and where to focus your efforts. Questions you may ask yourself:

• How can I improve my life skills in the areas where I ranked lower?
• What specific strategies can I use to enhance my problem-solving abilities?
• How can I support and assist others to improve their life skills?

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
