I've had my fair share of habit tracking apps in the last 10 years and I cycled through countless apps in search for the best tool. Long story, short - all those apps did not suffice eventually. Something would feel missing and none of them stuck with me in the long run.
Notion, however, was a breath of fresh air. It allowed me to craft my very own design - one that would engage me 100%, allowing me to iterate quickly and explore various approach in order to find the best tailor-fit solution to my specific needs.
My Design Criteria for Habit Tracking:
Habits should be organized into functional groups and sorted in the right order
Should provide an app-like experience where checked off items gets removed from the list (This particularly works for someone like me who gets visually overwhelmed with long, seemingly non-ending list)
Should give me the ability to skip a task
Should be able to automatically compute Habit Scores for the week which will feed into a form of automated reporting in Notion
Should be interesting and exciting to engage with
With Notion, not only have I successfully implemented these 5 criteria but it also provided a better, more seamless and satisfying experience. And despite trying so many Habit apps in the past, I haven't had this much success in tracking my habits daily. With this template, I was truly 100% engaged.
