A few months back I filled you in on how I rewarded my two older kids (age 5 and 23 months) with marbles in a jar for good behavior to earn a reward once their marble jars were full. Read about it here. Until recently I had a hard time completing or procrastinating on tasks I needed to fulfill.
Here is a list of what I need to improve on give myself marbles for already:
-Calling or e-mailing people back
-Setting up appointments or calling people
-Reading my Bible daily
-complete steps towards my teacher recertification (currently working on CPR/First Aid/AED trainings online).
– balancing the check book daily
-planning my 23 month old son’s 2 year old Birthday party at the end of this month YIKES!
Things I should give myself a marble for and work on but haven’t yet:
-eating healthier
-exercising.
My reward that I am working towards is any item of jewelry from Total Betty Society. When you sign up to become a member with them you automatically get a $10 credit to use towards your first purchase. I still have my credit and you can use it on top of discounts. I get discount notifications by e-mail. So I am thrilled and can’t wait to shop (especially for a necklace).
I also read my bible more, know where we are financially speaking and I just feel good all around. I just fill happier, more fulfilled and accomplished. Who knew that what I implement with my children could give the same affect with me. I encourage you to think of ways of rewarding yourself for actions or behaviors you dislike or have a hard time completing.
What do you think?

I need to do this, too. I need motivation for house cleaning and eating better.
Oh, what’s your referral link for total Betty? I’d like to sign up but give you credit.
I would say go for it Becky. As for referral I am still trying to log back into my TBS account to e-mail you an invite, so far no luck on the iPhone. I will need to get to a desktop and try it. I had this issue in the past trying to login from iPhone but can otherwise elsewhere 🙂 I will get a marble for this too as I need to make myself remember to do this lol
You should Valerie, this is quite a splurge for me haha!
I have thought about doing this sort of thing for myself but I’m just not sure what to “reward” myself with!! I guess it needs to be something I wouldn’t normally allow myself to buy…a splurge….Hmm, now I’m gonna go think on this! 😀
This is such a good idea. I must do it for my own girl when she is a little older.
Hope your week is going well. Ada. =)
M week is going great, thanks for visiting and asking. I hope you can try it and do it to reward yourself. Rachel xo
Don’t beat yourself up too much – life happens but if your intentions are good you are definitely on the right track!
I love the idea of a visible way of reminding yourself what you’ve accomplished! i’m a very word-oriented person so I always use lists and I love seeing the checkmarks as I get stuff done.
I really like the marble idea!! It seems like such a good visual motivator!!
It really is 🙂
That is a great way to hold yourself accountable!
