At the end of each tab, charts summarize your performance and show the overall completion percentage, as well as performance by category and habit, broken down by monthly and weekly totals.

Additional charts highlight your top three completed habits and the three that require more attention. These charts help you celebrate successes and plan for improvements next month.

Organize habits in categories

Organize habits into categories to keep the template structured and aligned with your goals. The template holds space for up to five different categories, whether professional, personal, health-related, or other areas you want to develop. After setting them, you can add the habits you want to establish in each. It's possible to add five habits per category, which allows you to track up to 25 distinct habits.

Questions and answers

Can the habits be tracked as a number per week rather than done on specific days?

View answer

Yes, habits can be tracked as a number per week rather than on specific days. This approach provides a more flexible way of tracking habits, as it allows you to focus on the total number of times you perform a habit in a week, rather than being tied to specific days. This can be particularly useful for habits that don't need to be done every day. However, it's important to note that the effectiveness of this method can vary depending on the nature of the habit and individual preferences.

This structure is automatically replicated across all monthly tabs. If needed, adjustments can be made over the months to add new habits or modify existing ones. Any changed habit will be highlighted in blue, signaling a manual modification. These changes automatically apply to subsequent months, offering flexibility to adjust your goals as you progress.

Questions and answers

How does the Habit Tracker's weekly frequency setting align with the concept of realistic routine over daily perfection?

This approach understands that achieving 100% success in a habit could mean performing it just a few times a week, offering a more realistic view of your progress. If you exceed the planned frequency, the template acknowledges your additional effort and allows your success rate to exceed 100%, encouraging and celebrating your dedication beyond what was initially expected.
