There’s an ancient proverb that says ‘the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step’. But what many people don’t realise is that the proverb is also assuming that you continue putting one step in front of the other. In other words, to arrive at our goal, we have to continue doing the work of putting one step in front of the other. We have to make it a habit to keep going forward.

But sometimes keeping that forward momentum can be hard when it isn’t easy to see the progress your making. When you feel like you’re putting one step in front of the other, but the scenery isn’t changing. When you’ve been slogging away and you’re not really sure what you’ve got to show for it.

This is where habit tracking comes in.

Why Should I Track Habits?

Tracking your habits provides that visual confirmation that you are making progress even when you can’t really see the results anywhere else.

Tracking our habits is important because if we want to change our life, we need to change our habits. That’s how powerful our habits are. They are the building blocks of our destiny. I once heard someone say…

• Your thoughts determine your emotions.

• Your emotions determine your actions.

• Your actions determine your habits.

• Your habits determine your character.

• Your character determines your destiny.

What are the habits you need to build to create a destiny that inspires you? Once you have the answer to that question, you need to have a system to track those habits because “we mind what we measure” - in other words, we pay attention to the things we track. And if we’re not measuring our habit progress, we’re not really giving it the attention that it deserves, considering that our habits have such a big impact on our destinies.

Can’t I just use a paper tracker?

Yes, you can! And we have pretty ones that will keep you motivated and inspired all year long here. But if you want a digital system to track your habits, we’ve got a Habit Tracker included in our One Life System. This means that you can use the SAME system you use to track your habits as you use to manage your goals and your entire life. This helps prevents tech overload and useless switching from using too many apps to manage the different areas of your life. This also makes it simple as you only need one tool that contains everything for managing your life and goals.

Our Habit Tracker allows you to log you habit progress with the click of a button. Everything is built inside of Notion and is easy to use and customise for your goals and habits.

You can add images, videos and more to your habits. You can choose to see only specific habits during your morning and evening routines. And even filter your habits by progress, tag or year!

The Habit Tracker is included inside our One Life System. You can check it out here:

Can I just get the habit tracker on it’s own?

Our habit tracker is part of an integrated system. We build our Notion templates using our SMART™ System method which means that several pages are connected and can’t be separated. And if you want to have a complete system that will organise your entire life, we recommend getting the One Life System.
