I came across the Clean Sweep life test after following a link to Dive Into Mark. My final score was 81, which I'm quite happy with (although some of the work related questions were answered knowing that I am starting a new job soon).
Things I'm bearing in mind after the test are:
1) I don't consistently have enough enough time, space or freedom in my life. This is mainly work related and due to change come July.
2) I never backup my harddrive.
3) I don't drink nearly enough water
4) I do not have 6 months living expenses saved in an easily accessible account. I do have a credit card though, and the balance is nil so there's a fair bit of flexibility there.
5) I have no insurance. My assets have no insurance.
6) I have no will (and have never even contempated writing one).
7) My earnings are nowhere near commensurate with the effort I put into my job. However, when I start with the new employers in July that will change.
8) I use loads of caffeine. We're talking coffee, tea, and chocolate on pretty much a daily basis.
9) Giving up sugar is not an option. I measure sugar in my cereal by pouring it on... spoons don't hold enough. Is this bad?
10) Giving up alcohol is even less of an option than giving up sugar. I drink. It's my one vice. Leave me that at least.
11) I do definitely not consistently have evenings, weekends, and holidays off. In fact it would be more accurate to say that I almost never have those times off. Again, this will change in July.
12) I gossip. Sue me.
13) I have been known to lie. Usually white ones though.
14) I'm critical of others sometimes.
Things I'm happy with after the test:
1) I am not tolerating anything about my home or work environment. In fact I've successfully gained a new job.
2) I am consistently early or easily on time.
3) I currently save at least 10% of my income.
4) I am on a career / professional / business track which is or will soon be financially and personally rewarding. Come July at least.
5) I never miss work due to illness.
6) My weight is within my ideal range.
7) I have no habits which are unacceptable to me.
8) I am aware of the physical or emotional problems or conditions I have, and I am now fully taking care of all of them.
9) I laugh out loud every day. I give credit for this to the great people that surround me in my current professional and personal life.
10) I walk or exercise at least three times per week.
11) I have let go of the relationships which drag me down or damage me.
12) I have communicated or attempted to communicate with everyone whom I have hurt, injured or seriously upset, even if it wasn't fully my fault. This is in fact something I've always been proud of.
13) I have a best friend or soul-mate.
14) I spend time with people who don't try to change me.
