We all have goals in our life but we don’t know how to train our self to achieve them. A simple habit tracker can help us to track our accountability and motivate us to stick with habits.

Introduction

A habit that can transform us into a completely different person than we are right now.

For example if you want to build a healthy lifestyle then you just need to write down the habits that you need to adapt such as walking every day, drinking water, eating a fruit, exercise, no alcohol consumption, no smoking, etc. and then create a space in your daily time table when you are going to perform them. You just need a consistent reminder and motivation to stick with habits.

Benefits of tracking Habit:

  1. It helps us to be consistent with the routine: when we visually see habit tracker daily it reminds us to stick with a routine, it reminds us that why we started it at first place. The issue with our nature is that we thought about a lot of things but if we are not writing down it somewhere or we are not continually reviewing our thought and dreams then eventually we will forget them and lose the track.
  2. it motivates us to continue and do more: at the end of the week or the month when you see that how many days you stick with a habit, it will motivate you to do better than last time and moreover you see the physical and mental impact of adapting habit after a few days.
  3. It helps us to manage our time well: when we know what we have to do and when we have to do then we can easily manage our time and able to make time for everything that matters to us.
  4. Keep us focused: it indirectly helps us to be focus and active. It is also a continuous reminder that we need to stick with a habit that we planned for our self.
