The present disclosed self-improvement game also known as “The Weekly Clock in Hours” offers a modern accessory that intends to motivate individuals to stick to their plans, work on their goals, and take action even when they don't feel like it. Expanding on the initial design of an average board game, the weekly clock in hours introduces a novel personal achievement board game that functions as a to-do list for any hobby, activity, or responsibility that an individual may want to commit to while offering an element of competition amongst peers or a source of independent challenge. Users simply write down the activities that they either want to implement more of, or remain consistent in, and identify the time frame that they will dedicate to the goal, based on a three level system: average (investment of 2.5 hours), above average (investment of 5 hours), and relentless (investment of 7.5 hours). From there, users can work on what they've written down, committing to a certain number of hours per day to see the results accrue per week. At the end of each week/off day, individuals can calculate how many hours they put forth for the given week, reflect on what they excelled in, and things to be mindful of moving forward. Through this process, consumers will be able to learn more about their commitment patterns, have better management strategies, and create time for the essential self-improvement activities they so desire. The weekly clock in hours motivates individuals to stay committed and inspired to reach their goals.
