Monthly Habit Tracker

I’ve been using a bullet journal for over a year, and this is the first month I’ve managed to complete a habit tracker for the entire month.

Eight days in August I did all five of the daily habits I’m trying to cultivate: reading for at least 30 minutes; writing anything (day job doesn’t count); exercising at least 30 minutes or 7500 steps; flossing; and eating at least 5 servings or 5 different fruits or vegetables.

One thing that has helped me keep up is not to let more than a day go by without filling in the tracker–either last thing at night or first thing in the morning.

I’ve tried both vertical and horizontal layouts but I like this one best, to the side of the monthly layout. And more than about 5 habits is too much for me to keep up. It’s probably time for me to switch out reading for another habit, because I think I’ve got that one down. But I so enjoy filling in that square every day!
