To Track or Not to Track?
To Track or Not to Track?
I started habit tracking over a decade ago, and I’ve found it to be beneficial in a lot of ways. But as with anything, it’s possible to take the practice too far. At the end of last year, I started to feel like my approach to tracking wasn’t actually helping me. I’d gone overboard with the number of behaviors I was keeping tabs on and turned the entire thing into a chore. And so I hit the reset button and started over with a very basic setup in Awesome Habits.
Although I’m tracking fewer habits now, I’m getting more out of the process because I can prioritize what matters instead of stressing about things that don’t. A year later, I’m glad that I made the change. It’s not only made my habit tracking more impactful, but also given me an opportunity to consider my approach to tracking in general. How do I decide what I should track and what I shouldn’t?
