What makes a strong yearly bingo square?
Choose goals that can be completed, not streaks that can only be broken. "Run a 5K" is easier to mark off than "run more." "Save $1,000" is clearer than "be better with money." Yearly Bingo works best when every square has a moment where you can tap it complete.
