Marking progress towards goals

Mrs._Irwin

DH and I are discussing setting goals for the future, eg. saving etc. and want a way to mark our progress each week, so we can see ourselves getting closer to our goals.

How do you mark/celebrate your progress?

A cheeky bump for the evening crowd.

On MSE, we often have our debts and progress in our signature, and I was wondering if people had a way of celebrating their progress in the real world.

I sometimes think of a treat that I buy myself.

A more MSE approach is to have a big chart of squares where each square represents a given amount towards your total and then you can colour in each square as you go (you could use pretty stickers a'la chores and behaviour charts fir kids if you wanted to)

I also bore friends by going on about how proud I am to have got 'sub £20k' or 'over halfway'

Keep a log or diary so you can track your progress.

When you get 'down days' read through to remind yourself how far you've come :T

I like the chart idea, like a Blue Peter appeal! :beer:
