A Daruma doll will always remind you of your goal. First read it here then watched it here. Nana korobi yaoki!
Also featured on a recent episode of Go On. Which presumably means it going to be showing up on a lot of other sitcoms as well in the near future, as these 'featured item' episodes seem to come in a rash, e.g. the recent spate of episodes featuring boys' baby baptism dresses (The New Normal, Hot in Cleveland, and another I forget).

Papercraft Daruma in multiple colors if you're interested in printing and making your own.

I am not typically motivated by goal-setting, but this might do the trick. I'm envisioning an entire army of these lining my desk, silently judging my laziness with their one eye.

Always good for some points in Katamari.
I was going to say, I'm surprised not to see a Cousin marooned on top of each head, jumping. Sometimes articles like these pop up and startle me into realizing just how many objects from Japanese culture I have a little file for somewhere in my mind, with no description but a name and a few locations, like "underneath the fridge, by the mandarin peels." Embarrassing, but by now embraced.

I love the idea, and enjoyed the Go On episode (seriously, I had never heard of these things before), but...man, they aren't cute. Or at least they kinda freak me out to look at.
*gonna go print out paper ones now though, um.....*

On second thought, never mind. Those things look bloody complicated to assemble.
