3 Free Habit Tracking Templates You Can Use to Track Your Progress Today
Habits are tough to stick to. Life happens and you realize you haven't been sticking to your habits as well as you'd hoped.
One effective way you can boost your productivity and overall quality of life is by tracking your habits.
Habit tracking is the process of measuring your current and aspiring habits. On a basic level, habit tracking can help you reflect on the current habits you have and whether or not you want to continue those habits.
Habit tracking can be particularly helpful for starting and building new habits, and tracking how well you are sticking to them. According to research, habit tracking is important because it can reduce motivational impairments and boost productivity.
In this guide, we’ll take a look at 3 habit tracking templates you can start using today to track your progress when building new habits.
Why Use Habit Tracking Templates?
Habit tracking has shown to be effective in helping you build long-lasting habits. According to Ness Labs, visualizing your progress is a key factor in what makes habit tracking effective.
Ness Labs also shares that digital habit trackers can act as reminders of tasks as well, due to the fact that people are on their devices many hours throughout the day.
Whether you want to track your habits in your own notes, or use templates to insert your progress into them, habit tracking can help you more effectively build habits.
