Creative Countdowns

  Countdowns are a wonderful way of visually representing how far you have come and how far you have to go. Not only are they effective in boosting morale when it comes to goals but they are also amazingly cheap and a super fast craft.

Materials:

• 2 Mason jars (size depending on the length of your goal)
• cheap buttons,beans,beads or anything you can use as a counting system.
• Masking tape or labels
• Sharpie

 First off you need to set your goal. I used mine to track how many days I had to go until graduation. It would be a very effective idea to use it as a visual aid in tracking your weight loss. The concept is simple: One jar is days to go and the other days gone, each day you transfer one bead from the days to go  jar into the days gone jar.
