Progress bars are aesthetically pleasing to look at. When we see them our minds are filled with delight. Whether it's downloading or uploading, a progress bar will be there to remind us of how far we've come. It could be for a song, movie, software program, or loading sequence. Progress is a fun thing to measure. Computers usually generate them for us, but we could also produce them on our own. How far are you in your studies in school right now? 85%. What's your progress until you advance from a brown belt to a red belt? 32%. How is reading your latest book going? 58%. Progress, progress, progress.
If you could, I'd suggest attaching a progress bar to the most important things in your life. This could include your progress in reaching your ideal profession, your advancement towards buying your first house, and perhaps your progress in becoming better at a sport. Measure it however you want, but just remember to put in on paper or MS Paint. It will look visually pleasing at first; however, you won't be completed satisfied until you see it reach 100% completion. Afterwards, set a new goal, and start working towards that.
