Stay Healthy & Productive From Home With A Weekly Habit Tracker (& A List of Habits to Track)

I'm not sure how social distancing has been going for you, but I've been struggling to stick to a normal routine. Some days I'm super on top of my goals and to-do list, and it almost feels like I'm living in a normal non-COVID-19 universe. Other days, I hit snooze four times and don't change out of my pajamas. 

Now that we know we're all going to be staying home for at least another month, I'm really working on nailing down some semblance of a routine so that I can stay healthy and productive (and sane) from home until it's safe to return to normal life again.

So, I created a weekly habit tracker so I could hold myself accountable for my top goals each day of the week.

A Printable Weekly Habit Tracker

The simple act of checking off a box — or putting a gold star sticker on a box, if you're extra like me — can be more motivating than just telling yourself, "Yeah, yeah, I'll get to that eventually. It can wait until after the next time Netflix asks me if I'm still here." 

For me, habit tracking is motivating for three primary reasons:

1. Printing out the tracker and hanging it somewhere I'll see it every day is a powerful visual reminder to follow through on each of these five habits I've selected.

2. Seeing the progress I've made day over day (the X's or gold stars in each of the daily boxes) makes it so I don't want to "break my streak," further motivating me to keep up with each habit.

3. Recording my success with in the moment (drawing that X or sticking on that gold star) feels super satisfying.
