Habits make or break us as people, In fact, all of what we do is comprised of habits. The habit to brush our teeth, the habit to go on our phones, the habit to smoke or drink. Some of these are positive and some hold us back but in order to grow as people, developing the right habits is crucial.
Elite performers will often measure, quantify, and track their progress in various ways. Each little measurement provides feedback. It offers a signal of whether they are making progress or need to change course.
Thats why you need a habit tracker…
A habit tracker is a simple way to measure whether you did a habit.
The most basic format is to get a calendar and cross off each day you stick with your routine. For example, if you meditate on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, each of those dates gets an X. As time rolls by, the calendar becomes a record of your habit streak.
Habit tracking is powerful for three reasons.
It creates a visual cue that can remind you to act.
It is motivating to see the progress you are making. You don’t want to break your streak.
It feels satisfying to record your success in the moment.
How to get in the habit of tracking habits and what habits should you track?
First, manual tracking should be limited to your most important habits. It is better to consistently track one habit than to sporadically track ten. I tend to keep my habit tracker simple and limit it to my three or four most important habits.
Second, record each measurement immediately after the habit occurs. The completion of the habit is the cue to write it down. (This is a twist on a previous article called Habit Stacking)
The habits you should track are dependent on the person that you want to become. If you want to become an athlete ask yourself ‘what habits would an athlete track?’ and start to track them. This is the same as an entrepreneur etc.
