Build a Habit Tracker That Works for You

You’ve just put together a plan to build some new habits. You want to read more, exercise more frequently, and meditate. However, after only a month you find yourself back in your old routine, with none of the new habits you were striving to create are a part of it.

Building a habit tracker that works for you can help in many ways. Whether you’re looking to find a peaceful state of mind with a habit of meditating, or you're looking to cut back on your habit of drinking soda - a habit tracker can be your best friend!

In today’s article, we’ll be covering how you can build a habit tracker that works for you and your particular situation and goals.

What are your daily, monthly, and annual goals?

Dividing your habit tracker into different sections can help you put your goals into perspective. For instance, let’s say you want to save a certain amount of money this year.

With this in mind, you can figure out the monthly amount you need to save, and you can break it down even further by figuring out how much you should save every day and week.

Habit tracker ideas

You might feel inclined to create a monthly habit tracker or even a daily habit tracker. Whatever the case, there are many ideas that you can put into action. Here are just a few examples of monthly ideas:

  • Exercise at least 12 times
  • Meet up with friends at least 4 times
  • Call or visit family at least 1 time

Some ideas for daily habits might include:

  • Meditate for 5 minutes
  • Read for 15 minutes
  • Have breakfast and listen to a podcast

The potential is limitless. It’s important to know what you want out of building a habit tracker, and how you wish to use it to build new habits. You might even find there are different ways of using one that’s more suitable for you.

You might want to build a tracker that’s stored on your computer, in your journal, or even a printable habit tracker. Whichever way you decide, it’s best to use it in a way that’s convenient for you and the way you like it.

There are even different designs you can use with your habit tracking sheet. You’re probably aware of the usual X and Y-axis habit tracker. However, there’s also a way you can do it that’s visually different - it’s known as a circular habit tracker.

This is increasing in popularity. It’s a breath of fresh air and totally customizable, just like many of the other templates used with habit trackers.

At the end of the day building a habit tracker should be a fun, exciting, and a motivating experience. Customize it to your liking, add your favorite colors, and put together something that’s easy to follow and convenient to use.

One of the many habits that are increasing in popularity recently is meditation. And with good reason, research suggests it can help with anxiety and depression, and it might even reduce blood pressure.
