One of the first things my mentor taught me.
Each day that you do an activity during the week, you get a point. Your activities are things you want to do consistently but never seem to actually make happen. Days that exclude the activity (e.g., no gym on the weekend), you mark out with an X. You're playing for a total score equal to your list of activities multiplied by the number of days, less any X's.
You'd be surprised how earning points motivates you to do something you normally blow off on a day to day basis.
Example:
In the above example. the player received 9 out of a possible 26--about a 35%. Yeah horrible score.
The idea is get your ratio higher each week. See if you can get 50% of your pionts, then 75%, and so on. If you're nailing an activity every day and every week. Congrats you are forming a good habit! If you master it, take it off the list and add something else that trips you up.
Need a little more motivation? If you get 75%, give yourself a reward that you predefined. 100% gets you a big reward!
Need even more motivation??? Have friend or loved one play too and hold each other accountable!
And I just forfeited a point writing about points because it's now past my bed time.
