50 Habit Tracker Ideas
What’s a habit tracker?
Whether you’re trying to develop a regular gratitude practice or commit to 10,000 daily steps, a habit tracker is a useful tool to get you on track towards reaching your goals and document your progress. Have fun with it! Your habit tracker is for you and can serve both fun and function.
The benefits of habit tracking
Building habits takes repetition. There are all sorts of things we wish we could integrate into our daily lives. But sometimes, the bigness of it all can feel overwhelming. Habit trackers are a good place to start. They help lighten the load as a visual, interactive, and rewarding entry point.
How to build a habit tracker
Habit trackers come in all shapes and sizes. Grid layouts are a common place to start, but you can get creative! You can track numerous habits on one tracker, or build a separate tracker for every habit you’d like to track. A habit tracker can be a space for daily goals, weekly tasks, or monthly commitments.
You can track absolutely anything! Here are a 50 habits to get started with.
