what's the best habit you've developed and how did you develop it?

Starting a daily productivity log. It started as a google form but has morphed into a larger spreadsheet. It contains:

  • Something I completed today
  • something I worked on today
  • one thing I couldn’t do and why
  • a new idea I had today
  • something I did for physical activity
  • something I learned today

Each row is a day. It also includes a section for bucket list and yearly goals and whether I achieved them.

I don’t fill it out every day and I don’t fill out every field each day either, but I do try to not get more than 10 days behind.

It gives me a sense of purpose. It helps me remember what I’ve done, so days don’t just slip through my fingers. It also, I think, shows how I’ve grown a bit as a person.

It became really special when I was able to bring it out during my wedding vows. I wrote down on paper many of the things my SO and I did on our adventures and got to share them with our friends and family.

I have a tab for each of the last 15 years.

I have also stolen this idea and give it as much as one (1) week before I forget that I'm doing it.
