A Spreadsheet for Developing New Habits ✅

The Habit Tracking Spreadsheet I use every year + a copy for YOU

I got into Habit Tracking several years ago, and what started out as a pen-and-paper routine quickly evolved into my first digital tracker back in 2021.

It’s something I’ve updated each year, and have enjoyed using alongside many of you to build and expand my habits.

Now in it’s third rendition, The Habit Tracker is formatted to support habit formation throughout a 12-month period, and has a few features that make it *extra* fun to use.

Starting with a “central command station” (aka the “settings” tab) which allows you to type out your habits + their frequencies once. The sheet then auto-populates that information into monthly habit tracking sheets that are set up and ready to go.

As you check your habits off each day, the emojis at the bottom of each column will change. The more habits you complete, the more it changes. This is a simple form of gamification that offers the instant feedback and reward we seek when developing new habits.

It also features monthly and annual progress tracking with color-coding so you can quickly see your percentage of progress toward your monthly or annual goals for each habit. This feature helps me see the bigger picture and assures me that having a bad day, week, or even month won’t make or break my ability to form new habits.

Ready to see it in action? Press play on the short video below for my tutorial for setting it up and getting started:

📱 You can use the spreadsheet on desktop or using the Google Sheets Mobile App on your phone/tablet.

🖨 Once you set up the spreadsheet, you can easily print out the monthly sheets if you’d prefer to track manually. Go to file > Print > And make sure Landscape orientation is selected.

💻 If you get on a computer each day, setting The Habit Tracker as one of your designated browser tabs is a great way to “stack” it into your daily routine. Here’s a tutorial for how to do that.
