Why should you track your habits?

According to James Clear, a habit is a memory of the steps you previously followed to solve a problem in the past.

So the more often you solve a particular problem, the less energy and willpower you will need to solve it. Because when a routine is formed into a habit, your body and mind will be able to execute it almost automatically.

When you are forming habits, you are actually programming your body to do certain things.

You can view habit-forming as a kind of mind hacking.

The better you get at habit-forming, the better you will be at reaching your goals, visions, and dreams.

Never forget:

Be good to your future self because you are your future self! Every action you take today is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. And success is the product of daily habits— not once- in- a- lifetime transformations

So how is tracking your habits helping you?

Habit tracking helps to visualize the process of habit-forming. It adds some kind of gamification to the process. It makes it more clear, what you are actually trying to achieve in your life. Because many people think they lack motivation when what they really lack is clarity.

This clarity can be provided by a habit tracker.

Why did I create this tool?

From the end of 2020 till the middle of 2021 I had been tracking 15 daily habits with Notion.

This habit tracking process helped me a lot in becoming more productive and establishing a more healthy lifestyle. However, after some months I became stressed and had been close to burnout.

The problem: With my old habit tracking system it was difficult to stop tracking one habit without messing up with formulas and relations.

The system worked well, as long as I wasn't changing anything.

However, when you are tracking habits, you are actually changing things all the time.

I couldn't find a habit tracker template for Notion that could combine both: Flexibility with the ability to track the data in the future.

Therefore I decided to create the right tracker for your needs.

 What will this tool do for you?

It will help you to track and visualize your habit tracking process while giving you a lot of freedom in the process.
