Yo! So this is just a brief post, for any Kikki k fans out there... a daily goals chart!
I saw a lil' set of 'daily goals' sticky notes on one of my many visits to the store, (I justify shopping trips by telling myself I won't buy anything, I'll just look for craft ideas), and decided to make my own. The idea is to write down small goals that you want to achieve daily, or maybe every second day, and reward yourself if you do them.
It's a very simple project, but you can jazz it up as much as you like.
Materials:
Ruler
Sharp pencil
Felt tip pen (for nice neat writing!)
Filing cards or similar small pieces of card
Decorating materials of your choice (eg. coloured paper, glitter, washi tape, coloured pens, stickers)
Method:
1. If your card isn't already lined, use the ruler to measure out where to draw lines, which can be as closely spaced as 6mm. Mark 6mm intervals along each side of the card, and join them up, in pencil. Similarly, draw vertical lines every 6mm starting at the right edge of the paper, and making either 7 or 14 columns, depending on the size of your card, and leaving enough space on the left to write down your goals.
If you like, you can draw one extra column, probably on the right, for 'rewards' - maybe if you exercise every day for a week, you want to reward yourself with a chocolate bar, or diy face mask? (The latter will be explained in a post soon!)
2. Now bring forth your felt tip pen, and title your columns-- I put a big "goals" title on the left, in fancy writing, and very minimal day of the week titles for the small columns, with just the first letter of each day. Yes, Saturday and Sunday start with the same letter, but you know which one comes first, so it doesn't cause confusion! Note: you can make it even cuter by using coloured pens for this step. I wish I'd thought of that earlier.
3. Decoration time!! I left mine very plain, but that doesn't mean you have to! If you don't have enough goals to fill the page, add a few cute or encouraging stickers or doodles at the bottom. You could leave an extra margin along the left, and put a stripe of brightly patterned washi tape, or a line of glue to sprinkle glitter on. for a really pro look, cut a piece of coloured card about 1cm bigger than your main card, and glue it on the back to make a neat border. For mine, I just wrote a few words along the top to remind me of the quote: "How we spend our days is, after all, how we spend our lives." It adds that extra touch of inspiration to get me fulfilling those goals!
4. Use it! Tick off the items you do each day, and keep track of your progress. Maybe you aim to exercise every day, and practice an instrument twice a week? If you achieve your aim, reward yoself!
