Ideas for a certain kind of card
Looking for a list written for one audience? Each of these has 40 to 60 ideas of its own.
How to pick your 25
- Mix the sizes. About five big goals, ten medium ones and ten small or fun ones is a mix that works for many people.
- Spread them out. One or two squares from each part of life, so a rough month in one area does not sink the whole card.
- Make it checkable. Put a number or a finish line on it. “Save $1,000” can be marked done; “be better with money” cannot.
- Keep a few easy ones. The squares you would do anyway are what keep you coming back to the card.
