Awhile back I was on a yahoo group that the concept was to post your daily to do's list and then you'd give yourself so many points for each thing you got done from your list.
I really liked the whole concept of this so decided that I would adapt it to my own liking and do it.
The people on the list added their points up and at the end of the month, reward themselves with something that they buy for themselves or a facial or whatever.
The 1st of June, I started my own challenge and have faithfully done this every day since then!
I make my to do's list every night [for the following day] and then as I get things done, I check them off [I get one point for each thing done which = one penny per point.]
For the month of June, at the end of the month - I had $33.16 that I earned [which I had to pay myself for! *lol*]
What I decided to do was to start a savings account just for this and that's just what I did.
So - for now, I have just over $33.00 in my account and so far this month ...
I have $22.86 added up since the 1st of July. Not bad, huh?!
Many things on my list get bonus points [if it's something that I need to do but have really procrastinated on, etc.]
It's adding up though and I'm so happy that I've been consistent like I have been.
I don't plan on taking any money out of this account and also, won't put any other savings in it.
That way, I can see how this adds up for just doing my to-do list challenge.
Love,
Jennelle
