The Power of Atomic Habits and Habit Tracker
I’ve never been good at planning ahead, preferring instead to act on impulse. Recently, I put the ideas presented in Atomic Habits and Habit tracker into practice and discovered that I was more effective than ever before. Check out my February accomplishments and the step-by-step process I used to create my habit tracker below!
Process:
1. Created a simple excel with the activities(personal + professional goals) on the left hand side (masked in the image above)
2. Created columns for each day in February and tracked each activity as DONE or MISS based on the status
3. Put a highlight cell rule to highlight DONE in Green and MISS in Red. This actually helps to create a picture at the EOD to understand the targets achieved and missed.
4. Put a %completion towards the end to gauge which activities are getting done easily and which are the activities where you need to improve yourself.
Achievements:
1. Read 400 pages ~ 15 pages everyday
