Things to consider when choosing a habit: Is the habit you are trying to achieve SMART?

Specific: Is your habit precise and clearly defined? Have you made it clear what you expect from yourself? If not, try to narrow down what you wrote.

Measurable: Can you reasonably decide whether or not you completed that habit for a day? For example: if you’re trying to make reading a habit. Instead of writing “reading” consider how many minutes you would like to read per day (maybe 5-10 to start?) or make it specific to a book and write how many pages.

Attainable: can you see yourself doing it for a long period of time? Can you see yourself achieving this as a habit over a month? Or making some progress towards it within a month? Is it something you can do every day? If not, consider making it a smaller start that is more realistic for you.

Relevant: How is this habit specific to you? Why is it relevant to your long-term goals as a person?

Time bound: Can you set a specific time in the day when you are going to do it? Can it be made part of your morning or night routine?

💡Tip: the most effective time to practice a daily habit is next to one you already have. If you already brush your teeth every day, try doing your habit (e.g. reading) every night after your brush your teeth.

Sample Habit Tracker

Habit tracking is not meant to be perfect. Your goal shouldn’t be to get every single box on the grid ticked. Your goal is to have a way to acknowledge your progress, give yourself some motivation and hold yourself accountable.
