"A friend of mine saw this great idea on Pinterest, and shared it with me, and I decided to start one of these for myself. Meet &amp;quot;The Happiness Jar&amp;quot;.    This particular jar is for my weight loss. One shiny glass bead in the jar for each pound I lose. The jar has a big bow on it and I found a clear-backed sticker in the scrapbooking section at a craft store that says &amp;quot;Happiness&amp;quot; - that&amp;#039;s on the front. Every time I look at the jar, I get happy. I have a second set of jars related to writing. One jar each for the books I&amp;#039;m working on (a bead goes in every 1,000 words) and another jar for articles I&amp;#039;ve submitted (one bead per article or writing contest I&amp;#039;ve entered). I&amp;#039;ve got them all lined up on my dresser and last night before I went to bed I thought to myself: &amp;quot;Hey! Look at me! I&amp;#039;m getting stuff done!&amp;quot; Now if I could only get as motivated about the house cleaning and yard work! Do you use visual prompts like this to track success or keep you motivated? Do they work for you? [Follow Ellie on Twitter and Facebook] "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
