Keep Yourself Motivated With A Habit Tracker
There’s something to be said for having a way to visualize your progress when you’re working toward a goal, especially when it’s something that requires a sustained effort. Whether you’re trying to stick to a certain diet, drink more water, or journal every day, being able to see how much you’ve done can motivate you to keep going.
It’s the same principle behind those daily activity rings on Apple Watches. (I don’t personally own one, but I know enough people who do to have heard all about how they motivate wearers to “close their rings” every day!)
When you can see how far you’ve come, it makes it easier to keep going, and that applies to nearly any habit, practice, or skill you’d like to develop. But I’ve always been more of a pen-and-paper gal, so I thought I’d put together a printable that would make it easy to keep track of various habits and practices you might be working on or want to improve on.
How Do I Use The Habit Tracker?
The habit tracker printable has space for you to keep track of up to 8 different habits, with 31 numbered circles next to each (one for each day of the month). When you do the thing you’re trying to make a habit of, simply fill in the circle that corresponds to the current date.
When you get to the end of the month, print a fresh copy of the tracker and start again!
What Habits Should I Track?
While daily habits are an obvious choice for this habit tracker, that’s not the only way you can use it. It works just as well for keeping track of things you want to do once a week, or even less often than that! It’s all about visualizing your progress and holding yourself accountable.
Here are some habits you could keep track of using this tracker:
- Drinking enough water
- Meditating
- Prayer
- Exercising
- 10,000 steps
- Going to the gym
- Yoga
- Waking up early
- Reading
- Writing in a journal
- Reading the One Good Thing newsletter ;-)
- Flossing
- Taking vitamins or medications
- Eating breakfast
- Calling mom
- Date night
- Quality time with the kids
- Saving money
