Do you remember as a child that chart that we all had and if you did things right you got a gold star? I would do anything for my gold star, I was just that kinda kid.
Well the gold star mentality is back, but this time in the form of coupons! There is an awesome new website out called Daily Feats, you set up tasks that you want to start doing (new leafs to turn over in a sense). Each day that you do them you “check in” that you did them and you earn points… the more good things you do each day the more points you earn. In the end your points can be redeemed for great coupons around town. I typed in my zip code to see what was offered and there were over 100 offers all from local restaurants etc. (I’m actually slightly amazed by the number of rewards!). You can also save up your points to earn gift cards to Starbucks, Ebay and more.
So what kind of changes are we talking about?
You can earn points to:
Make the Bed
Wash the Dishes
Call a Friend
Play Outside
Wake up Early
etc. etc. etc. Really anything you’ve been thinking “I should really start _________” there is a feat for it and you’ll earn points.
You can make this more fun, and motivating, by inviting friends to join your team and giving them props when they do something good too. You’ll all earn points together but have some moral support as you make little, or big, life changes.
If you get really into earning your points (I’m there once I saw that I could get gift cards for making my bed…) they have an iPhone app so you can check in on the go.
Try it out & Win
Daily Feats is offering you 50 points to get signed up (it’s free) when you register enter code southernsavers50. That already earns you local rewards, but you can quickly start marking off things that you have done today and want to start doing!
After you try it out come back and tell me one thing you want to start doing daily and you’ll be entered to win a $10 gift card to ebay.
10 winners will be chosen Monday 10/10 (that makes for a lot of 10’s).
This giveaway sponsored by dailyfeats.com, all opnions are 100% my own.
I’m planning on going to bed early daily :).
Exercise!!
I want to start tidying up my living room daily. It needs it!
Clean out the closet.
The most important thing that I added to my daily list was to pray. My husband is in the military as is my brother-in-law and I’m making a personal goal to pray for them each day. It’s something I never think about until right before I fall asleep so hopefully now I’ll remember to take more time out of my day to focus on meditation and prayer.
I want to start flossing daily :)
I want to start getting in shape daily. Walking with my family in the evenings after dinner.
I. LOVE.THIS.SITE!! Thank you so much for introducing it to me. I wnat to get outside with my kids daily. Too much time in front of the boobtube and puter isn’t good for them, or me.
I joined and put not smoke, I am trying to quit so this may help
Good luck! My hubby quit almost 3 months ago (after smoking for 25+ years).
I want to be in a better habit of reading the bible daily.
So many things! Wake up early to do Bible study is at the top though
Going to bed earlier.. it’s hard. :-) But I like that I get rewarded everytime I do!
Going to bed earlier, for sure! :-)
Exercise
This is an intriguing idea! I am excited to give it a try – and to have a made bed everyday and a clean bathroom every week!
Exercise Daily!
more organized in homeschooling
Resist TREATS, one a day and no more.
Read my bible and exercise are both things I keep saying I’m going to do daily and end up saying later and it never happens.
Hmm; neat idea. I’m going to try to cook supper every night. :)
Exercise daily! When I use this website, my internet explorer keeps shutting down. Is there a solution to this problem?
Hi AJ,

Hi Staci marie,
Sarah from DailyFeats here, our page might be refreshing slowly at the moment because we are working on it right now! Don’t worry, if this is your first visit to the site you should know that Monday we launched a complete makeover, which allowed our site to run much faster than before!
Hope you enjoy!
Sarah
I want to at least get a little exercise every day.
Exercise- I can never seem to stick to it!
to be thankful for what I have and what I do not have.
I’m planning to read a book daily. :)
I love this!!!! I am going to use it for myself but also
as motivation for my kids to do their chores and make healthy choices! I love how there are so many tasks to do. It wont take long to earn points!
I want to NOT sleep “in” each day. I’m usually up by 7 but my husband is up & out before me. It would really bless our marriage to spend a little morning time together.
I want to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier. I need to study for my classes and prioritize! So much to work on!
I want to make sure I get 30 minutes of exercise each day. I am working on my gained baby weight. I am 7 weeks postpartum and ready to get back to my prebaby weight.
I want to wake up earlier and get more done in my day!
my best friend’s mom makes $77 an hour on the computer. She has been out of job for 9 months but last month her check was $7487 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read about and follow the instructions to get started , here http://xub.me/Q
Clean up!
I want to wake up earlier every day. It is so nice to already be awake when the kids get up.
I want to make the bed and eat more fruits and vegetables.
Off topic a bit: anyone know how to “unplan” something? I accidentally planned one that I didn’t mean to…
Hi Mandy,
Sarah from DailyFeats here. You can unplan a feat by clicking “plan it” again. You should see an x next to the option you planned. All you have to do is click that option again and –voila!– no more planned feat.
Feel free to email the DF team using the form on the “contact us” page any time!
Exercise more!
I’m pretty good about bed-making and washing dishes…I want to take more time to exercise!
I would like to “take a deep breath” daily as it seems so many things get wild and crazy. It seems we lose sight of what matters and also we don’t observe what’s happening in our lives.
I want to walk daily!
Read a bedtime story to my kids each nigh!
Read more, take a multivitamin, exercise more and be kinder!!
take a deep breath

Do dishes everyday! A task I hate as we don’t have a dishwasher.
exercise more and eat better
I want to be better prepared each day. Since I lost my mother recently to an ongoing medical condition I had to put my emotions to the side and get my 2year old into day care and keep working my full time job. I want to find the strength to get up in the morning or stay up later at night and set myself up for success. Every morning has turned into a stressful time getting my daughter ready for daycare and myself ready for work. I am going to set up tasks on daily feast and make that a part of my routine and focus to prepare myself. Thank you Southern savers for introducing this to me.
Lose a pound a week.
I want to remember to simply BREATHE when I feel my patient being tested by our 2 year old twins…and to enjoy every single moment with my children–because while the days are long the years pass FAR too quickly–and it simply isn’t worth getting stressed out/upset about the little things–I am better off spending my time really living in the moment. Even if that “moment” is full of mess/whining/chasing…. : )
Thanks – i am one of those gold-star lovers, too! I plan to do more to improve my health, including breathing!
I joined a few weeks ago. I really like the site. It keeps you accountable on goals you set too. I want to be better organized.

I’m taking the “Don’t Fight” challenge. Gonna be a doozie to get through this!
To exercise.. daily?

I picked quite a few…but my favorite was hug someone every day:)
I want to start walking more. Need to get some weight off.
I chose a lot but my fave is to be a better role model to my children. With so many influences out there and bad habits. Your children can pick up so much. I Think not only will I help my kids grow to be great people I can learn to be a better person too.
So really this helps both of us!
De-stress and take a deep breath at least twice a day.
