At the end of every month the progress was clear: I was visibly increasing the healthy habits and decreasing the negative behaviors. With the simple aid of colorful markers, it became increasingly easier to follow my new habits.
By the beginning of April, the result was striking: I had successfully reached my goals. There were clearly days of highs and days of lows, but even then, by kindly moving on and not stressing about every single thing, I had assumed a positive behavior in all the habits I wanted to establish. A huge win!
In the same period I worked at the Octobook - a notebook planner which combined different scheduling tools to effectively set and reach my goals. I included my habit tracker in there, with a slightly different layout but the same visual concept.
