How to use it

  1. Write the month at the top and list your habits down the left. Start with three to five; you can add more later.
  2. Make each habit specific enough to tick, for example "walk 20 minutes" rather than "exercise more".
  3. Fill in or tick the square each day you do it, ideally at the same time every evening.
  4. If you miss a day, try not to miss two in a row. Note what got in the way in the bottom section.
  5. At the end of the month, count your completions and decide which habits to keep, change or drop.

Who it's for

Anyone building a new routine, such as reading, exercise, water, journaling or quitting something, who likes seeing a whole month at a glance.
