Would you use a tracker that focused on effort instead of perfection?
I've been busy working on the Mystery Journal that I'll be giving away at the end of this month, and one of my favorite parts has been the habit trackers.
What I love about trackers is that they don't have to be about perfect streaks. They can simply help you see yourself showing up.
A tracker can remind you that progress is happening, even when it doesn't feel like it.
This kind of layout was inspired by a full-page tracker found in the Art of Planning & Journaling inserts, but they can be used in so many different ways—habits, goals, self-care, business tasks, reading, movement, and more.
Sometimes the biggest benefit isn't checking every box.
It's having a visible reminder that you're making an effort.
Would tracking your effort help you stay encouraged?
