The person I am most competitive with is myself, and for that reason, I love to make any task a game. I have never spoken about this part of my process before because there have been times (especially regarding social media) where it has become toxic for me, and I had to pull back and re-evaluate.
My favorite thing to gamify is my goals. Two years ago, at the end of 2024, I participated in the trend of doing a 2025 BINGO card. Each square a goal that I wanted to accomplish in the new year. I didn’t hit BINGO because I realized pretty early on in the year that things I cared about in December might not be the same things that I care about in March.
Enter the quarterly BINGO card. I first saw this idea from creator CurlyWavyPatty on Instagram. Creating a BINGO card with goals and a reward for said Bingo for every 3 months of the year! Genius. A game that can change and grow with me! I didn’t make my quarter two card until the end of April, so for quarter 3, I wanted to do something special. While I was mulling around ideas for how I wanted my BINGO to look, I found some videos on Pinterest of people making loyalty punch cards for their goals as well. I combined the two things and am very excited about how they turned out.
I love things that have a handmade touch to them, and these cards have been so fun to fill out so far. If you would like to see the process of me making them, you can watch the video here:
If you make any yourself please let me know!
