The Goals Game 7/18/22
The Goals Game
Object of the Game: To score as many points as possible up to 100 points. To earn bonus points up to an additional 50 points. Minimum Point Value is 5 points.
Spirit of the Game: We all have different thresholds and levels of hardships, trials and tribulations, and illnesses, along with blessings, abilities and advantages. This game is designed to adjust to your personal situation while allowing you to be just as successful as anyone else in the point system. It requires Honesty, Self evaluation and Productive Exercises of persoanal importance. Scoring Points Throughout the Day is Really Fun!
How does it work? Remember, A game of Honesty and Self Evaluation. You have to set your own points for your own goals. There are a lot of things to consider here.
(To be continued but here is one example) I may have a houseful of dishes to wash so I assign myself 80 points to finish the dishes today. Another person, perhaps handicapped only has a few dishes to wash. This person knows it is a huge chore for them just to get to the sink so to them just to finish a few dishes is worth 80 points. We set our own standards and that thats where the game evolves as we learn more about our limitations and our strengths in a way that's FUN to share with others.
Scoring: When you are done with your day, you total your completion points and your partial completions points together. That is your score. Convert them to a % and that is your success rate for the day. (Example 80 points = 80%)
Step 1) List all your specific little goals for one day.
Step 2) Attach a Point limit (5-100) to each goal. The more effort you think it will take, the more points you should give it.
Step 3) YOU only task goals accordingly to equal 100 points for the day.
Rule A: YOU Must evaluate unfinished goals honestly to collect deserved points. Only completed goals get the entire point value you assigned to it at the start of the game.
Rule B: There is no subtracting points for chores/goals not done or met.
Rule C: If a task/goal was harder and longer but you finished it anyway, you can add what you think are fair bonus points at the end of the day. Up to 50 additional points.(For the saying… I gave 110% today)
Step 4) Plan your Game for the day.
Step 5) Ready, Set Go… Start your tasks and chores for the goals of the day.
Step 6) When your day is done ADD UP all the points you earned for completed goals.
Advantages of this Game: It Is per Individual. Example: All I think I can do is Make bed, Make Breakfast, wash dishes and Pay One Bill
(Make bed -easy for me +20% points)
(Make breakfast-easy for me +20% points)
(Wash dishes- medium for me +30% points)
(Pay Bill-medium for me +30% points)
YOU DID THEM ALL…. 100 % for the day! Good Job.
The beauty of this game is if you use it on a daily basis and are always getting 100 points, that’s great but you might want to add a bit more to your day to challenge yourself. The same thing applies to always getting less than 100 points or consistently low scores, perhaps you’re putting too much on your plate very day.
