The goal was to do 100 promise. I had to do at least one promise a day, or I'd have to restart back at 1. After I kept 100 promises in a row, I'd win whatever prize I had selected to award myself. That helped make it fun to do several chores at once as my number would quickly move up. It also helped build some self-reliability as I saw myself as being more proactive.

That's a really good idea and one I shall endeavour to impliment in our household.
