How to Make Habits Stick

1
Start with one or two habits — not seven
2
Make each one small and binary: "10 push-ups", not "get fit"
3
Tick it the moment you do it — the tick itself is the reward loop

The Boring Science of Ticking Boxes

Habit tracking works through two dull but powerful mechanisms: it makes the behaviour visible (you can't kid yourself about "mostly" exercising when the row shows 2/7), and it recruits loss-aversion — after four ticks in a row, skipping day five genuinely costs you something. The design follows from that: keep habits binary and small enough that a bad day can't stop you. "Read 5 pages" survives a terrible Tuesday; "read a chapter" doesn't, and one broken chain too many is how trackers get abandoned.

Review the week-count column each Sunday: 5–7 means the habit is nearly automatic — consider adding another; 0–2 means the habit is too big — shrink it rather than blaming yourself. Specific goals like hydration have their own dedicated Water Intake Tracker, and weight trends live in the Weight Journal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many habits should I track at once?

One or two until they hold, and the tracker caps you at twelve. Every habit costs willpower to establish — spreading that budget across seven new habits usually funds zero of them.

How long until a habit becomes automatic?

Research averages around two months, ranging from three weeks to most of a year depending on the habit's size. The weekly grid makes the middle stretch — where motivation dips — visible and survivable.

What if I miss a day?

The rule that saves habits: never miss twice. One gap is noise; two in a row is the start of a new (bad) habit. The grid makes a single gap obvious enough to act on.

Can I see past weeks?

Yes — the Previous and Next buttons move through weeks, and each week's ticks are kept. It's a satisfying scroll after a couple of months.
