Three tests for a reward
- It doesn’t pull against the goal — shopping for a savings goal or a late-night snack for a diet goal erases the board’s progress.
- It fits the effort — an expensive reward for ten days of effort becomes a burden by the next board.
- You look forward to it — small pleasures you usually put off work best.
Reward ideas by goal
| Goal | Good reward | Reward to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Exercise | New running socks, a drink at your favorite café | "I earned it" eating |
| Saving money | A free exhibition, a movie night | The shopping you held off on |
| Reading | The next book you want | (mostly fine) |
| Early bedtime | A weekend brunch plan | A late-night binge-watch |
| Kids’ habits | A park trip together, a treat they choose | Much more game time |
Write it down first
Decide the reward when you start a board. Decide it after and it grows or shrinks with your mood. A written reward also reminds you why you’re doing it on the days the board is slow.

FAQ
Do I need a reward at all?
It’s optional. For many people the filling boxes are reward enough.
The completion screen feels plain.
Unlock "Completion confetti" in the extras for confetti when a board fills. It takes one short ad.
