I tested the new habit tracker this past month. It seemed incredibly useful to me for charting my habits. The habit tracker is a page you can click into your greenbook. This past month I tried it out and kept track of how often I practice yoga and whether I drink enough water every day.
On one page you can "track" 31 days, so you can track your habits for exactly one month. This way you can follow different habits every month or the same habit(s) for a couple of months. You can also use different colors for different months. You can obviously let your creativity run wild!
Setting goals
In addition to following your habits very well, you can also challenge yourself a little more and set goals. For example, like I did with yoga. I set myself the goal to practice yoga at least once a week and followed this through the tracker. It worked really well, because I could visually see in front of me if I succeeded in reaching my goal. It also felt like a real victory when I was allowed to color in a box on the erasable habit tracker. It was like a reward, even though it was such a small thing.
Insight
This page gave me a clear understanding of when I am drinking enough water and when I am not. By holding the tracker next to your calendar at the end of the month, you can easily see if there are causes for the outcome. For example, I drank way too little on days when I was barely home. This shows that I simply forget to drink when I'm on the go.
I'm really super happy with this addition to my greenbook. It's nice how you can go in so many different directions with this page. You can vary colors, number of habits or even goals and the time frame you track yourself. The page has a nice layout, the letters are easy to read and the space where you write your habit is spacious enough. I have absolutely nothing to say about it and will enjoy using this page for a long time to come!
