Create this simple tracker and build better habits + Free printable

by Bonnie Kuhl 24 Aug 2017 7 Comments

 

It wasn’t until a few months after starting my dot grid, that I decided to try a habit tracker. At first, I was a skeptic. Does it really matter if I don’t get 8 glasses of water a day (turns out, yes). But oh how quickly I became obsessed with these layouts. I love it because, eventually I stopped needing it. My habits became automatic (which is exactly the point).

If you’re already using one of our dot grid journals, here’s a quick tutorial on how I created this layout. The layout will work in other dot grid notebooks, but you might have to slightly modify, as the pages aren’t identical to ours.

Step 1:



Leave top 7 rows blank for your header

 

Step 2:

Draw a box 21 dots wide and 28 squares long. They will be one column of padding on each side.

 

Step 3:  

6 squares from the left of your box, draw a vertical line all the way down.

 

Step 4:

Every 2 squares, draw a horizontal line across the boxes.

Step 5: 

Horizontally divide the right hand boxes into two rows.

 

Step 6: 

In the right hand boxes, add vertical lines all the way down after each square.

 

Step 7: 

Add the days of the month (1-30) in the boxes. If your month has 31 days, it’s ok to tack on an extra square at the end.

 

Step 8: 

Add the the title, doodles, and habits you want to track.

For each day you complete a habit, color or shade in the box.
