new:Ā i made a FREE TEMPLATE if you're interested in this habit tracker notion setupš±šš
i've received a few questions about how i track habits, which honestly changes often, but i thought i'd share how i do it right now.

this is a pretty low-maintenance and simple way of tracking habits, while still using the wonderful database feature. i hope it helps you āØš

title: how i track my habits on notion (an illustrated guide + free template)
habit breakdown: every year i take some time to define exactly what my habits are first (i like to use icons for simplicity). this way, i know what i have to do to check off a habit on a day
how i use it: every day, my dashboard has a habits section that updates daily. when i practice the habit, i just check it off. this refreshes automatically so itās convenient.
how i use it: at the end of each month, i can see how consistent i was with specific habits. i do this by looking at my monthly percentages and looking for patterns: did i burn out on a particular habit? why? and i think about how i should adjust these to my current reality every month, because life happens!
how i use it: then i jot down these numbers so i have a general idea of whether or not iām being consistent with the intentions i set at the beginning of the month. i ask myself, why or why not? and then i make adjustments to my new interests and priorities.

benefits ā an easy habit tracker helps you see what youāre doing each day so you have an idea of what you want to practice more, practice less, and gives you a better idea of how your habits are affecting your wellbeing, instead of just relying on vibes, which can make you hard on yourself.
encouragement ā checking it off gives me a sense of accomplishment. i had a tendency of thinking i wasnāt ādoing enoughā each month, but when i write things down, i have concrete proof that i did things that were important to me. you also get to look back on your month and be like, look at all these things i did for myself! and have a little celebration :)
how it works: calendar view: of course iāve created a template for you to use (yay!), but itās worth learning how i set up the template so you can adjust it to your needs. basically, each habit is a property, and each page corresponds to a day, which has all the habits on it like a checklist. every month i duplicate the page each day for a month (it sounds cumbersome, but actually only takes about a minute total). this allows me to review every month if i want to keep my habits the same, set habit intentions each month so i can reflect and consider, what habits should i continue? what should i stop? it keeps it flexible. also, if youāre going on vacation, need a break, or anything comes up, you can take days off and that way your statistics wonāt be skewed by stretches of time where you arenāt planning to practice your habits.
tip: hold alt + drag your mouse to duplicate pages super quickly for this step
how it works: count page: all you have to do here is filter the date to the interval youād like to see your habits summarized in. i keep mine as calculated per month, but you can set your interval for a week or year or something more specific.
how it works: daily view: i create a linked database and set the view to gallery, filter to āTodayā and make sure that all the properties for habits are enabled so they appear in a little task list. then i just check them off each day. it updates automatically.
closing: and thatās it! for me, simple is best. i change how i track stuff all the time, but for now, this works just fine. i hope it can help you too.
rereading my own writing is just a constant fluctuation between "damn, girl, you wrote this? (affectionate)" and "damn, girl, you wrote this? (derogatory)"
My dad is hilarious because his favorite movie is dead poets society so he insisted we watch it and we did, and eventually I told him psychiatry is my true passion and the thing I want to study and he said "hell no"
Supernatural is so funny because it can give you something as emotional as pure happiness is just being able to live your own truth but then you only get to live it for like three seconds before you're erased from existence
