It's a goal chart!
Not just any goal chart... It's a 'paint by numbers' type of goal chart, except I'll use shiny stars to fill in the color. Why have I not ever thought of this before? How fun it will be to color-up this chart!
Don't let my expression fool you, I love this sort of thing.
Okay, okay, so it's just a dinky drawing on a piece of paper. I kind of just threw it together. But it serves a good purpose. You see, whenever I am super busy and especially during the holidays, I seem to throw some key things out the window:
- Nutritious food
- Exercise
- Music (study/practice)
- Personal scripture study
So, my goal is to fill out this little tree chart with stickers. By New Year's I want to have my chart covered in stars (25 days worth for each goal). If I can do this, it will be the first time ever going through the holidays in a healthy way. Or any month, for that matter. Ha.
Silly? Perhaps. Worthwhile? Absolutely. I think that my holiday experience will be so much richer by making time for these things.
I earn a star when I:
- Have a green drink that day to up my fruits and veggies intake. (green star)
- Exercise 20 minutes, so doable. (red star)
- Music practice, 20 minutes. (blue star)
- Spend personal time in the scriptures each day, family reading doesn't count. (gold star)
A gift to me, everyday, if I see it through. I've never done that before. Nor have I ever made a Christmas tree goal chart.
There it is. It is only the third day of December, and I'm already having a blast with this challenge. Truly!

That is a great idea! I might march myself to Office Max in the snow to get myself some stickers to make a chart for myself. You're coming up with so many good "firsts".
If I could make the font like size 100, I would, and it would say: THAT IS SO COOL!!!!!!!! And, being the sister with the same goal issues, I'm completely copying you! That is the funnest, cutest goal chart I've ever seen!!!!! yeah! I'm having a blast with your challenge, too!! I love you! I can't wait to see you!
love this idea! will you make one for me?? you are inspiring me with your goodness and goals. thanks for posting!
You're so awesome! I gave myself stickers every time I practiced guitar. I haven't practiced in awhile, but it was very motivating when it was important to me to do it more regularly.
Melissa!
You are so fun, cute, and creative! I LOVE this idea. I think I might copy your idea. Because i have the exact same issues during the holiday!
Excited to see you at the Christmas party!
