Golden Goals

Hi Girls,

  So, I started this strange goal thing last night at like...I don't know....10:00.  It was way grand!

  1. Choose something that you want, that you can get for yourself.  A new laptop, a new dress, whatever!  So, for example, I could choose this:
 
    So, basically, it has to be something you want to work for and will work for.

    So, first you make a little paper - doesn't have to be a poster board or anything - with five things on it:
-A picture of the object (or just what it is)
-The price (if it has one)
-Golden Coin Value (I'll explain in a second).  You'll want to make it a fairly big number, but reasonable.
-The goal ending date
-Why you want it

2. Make Golden Coin "Mini-Goals".  These are little everyday things you can do to make "Golden Coins."  You divide them up into categories, and can have just a few or TONS!  For example:
    Personal Progress Coins
     -Finish Faith Project - 5 Golden Coins
     -Do Good Works Experience #3 - 1 Golden Coin

    Health Coins
      -Exercise for 30 Minutes - 2 Golden Coins
      -Eat no sugar for a week - 4 Golden Coins

    Church Coins
      -Go to Mutual - 1 Golden Coin
      -Missionary Moment - 3 Golden Coins

    Just small everyday things.  It could apply to school, work, whatever.

3.  Make a Coin Log.  You need to keep track of how many coins you earn daily.  This should be a fun competitive thing.  You want to make sure your coins are worth something, but that you won't be able to gain enough coins for your goal in one day.  So, make it like 300 golden coins' worth!

This is way fun.  I am super excited to get mine started and accomplish my goals!
