We get a lot of questions about what to track in your Habit Calendar.
So we compiled this list of 100 (!) habits that you can track daily, weekly, or monthly. They are broken down into categories so that you can pull from these ideas based on your priorities. Not sure where to begin? We have a free downloadable Brainstorm Guide so you can figure out what habits would be most helpful to you!
