It's been a long time since I've done a "Works For Me Wednesday" post! I thought I'd share with you what we're doing this year to form some new habits.
I decided that the new year in a new home was a good time to start forming some new habits with the kids, but I don't want to overwhelm them. So, starting last week, I've begun putting up a very short list on each of their doors with the new habit that we are tackling that week, along with the previous week's habit. So last week, we had:
Week #1: Habit A
on a piece of paper. This week, we have:
Week #2: Habit A and Habit B
While next week, we'll have a total of three things. As the weeks go by and they form permanent habits, I can drop off the older stuff, so that no list should ever be really long and complicated, which could be discouraging.
It's not rocket science, but it's Working For Me!

What a great idea. My kids are only 6&7 so I think that I would add in two week intervals. I think I will start with Habit #1 Make your bed.
