What does a balanced life look like for you? More time in nature? Learning a new skill? Saving up for that dream trip? While the details may differ, most of us are looking for a sense of purpose, connection, and peace.
At Skogen, we believe that clarity begins with noticing where your energy goes—and gently guiding it back to what matters. That’s where the Paths come in.
The Paths are seven simple categories designed to help you stay grounded in your values and organize your thoughts in a way that reflects your life—not someone else’s idea of it.
When you tag your Notes or Actions with a Path, you’re not labeling your life—you’re mapping it. You’re creating a bird’s-eye view of what’s important to you right now, and making space for it.
Let’s explore each of the seven Paths:
Health & Wellness
Connect with your body, mind and spirit.
Colour: Blue - calming and restorative, like deep breaths and clear skies.
This Path is for anything that helps you feel better in your body and calmer in your mind. From doctor visits to morning walks, it’s about tuning into what your body needs to feel good.
Examples:
Exercise routine
Schedule a check-up
Try a breathing exercise
Work
Show up with purpose—whatever your work looks like.
Colour: Red - focused, energizing, and rooted in momentum.
Work isn’t just about a job title. It’s about where your effort goes. This Path captures your goals, responsibilities, and any meaningful project that asks you to show up and contribute.
Examples:
Brainstorm new ideas for your team
Set volunteer hours
Enroll in an online course
Relationships
Prioritize connection.
Colour: Pink - warm, calm, with a reminder to stay open-hearted.
Whether it’s checking in with a friend or being present with family, this Path is about nurturing the relationships that matter—with empathy, time and care.
Examples:
Send a birthday note

Personal Growth
Learn, stretch, evolve.
Colour: Yellow - bright and curious, like new ideas and fresh perspectives.
Growth doesn’t have to be grand—it can be slow, subtle, and deeply personal. This Path is for the things that challenge, inspire, and expand you.
Examples:
Start learning French
Record quotes that inspire you
Keep a journal of insights
Leisure
Make space for joy!

This Path is a reminder that joy matters. Whether it’s an afternoon nap or a creative project, leisure is where you recharge and reconnect with yourself.
Examples:

Go for a nature walk
Daily Life
Tend to the essentials.
Colour: Orange - steady, practical, and quietly energizing.
This is the rhythm of everyday life—the errands, chores, and routines that keep everything in motion. Giving them their own place brings clarity and calm.
Examples:
Grocery list
Laundry reminder
Renew insurance
One Life. Many Paths.
There’s no perfect way to organize your thoughts—only the way that feels right for you. There are no wrong answers. The Paths are flexible, forgiving, and always evolving. Use them to stay grounded in what matters, gain more perspective and bring more balance to your days.
