tracker setup from a guy named Dominic Hart. I'll leave his profile in the caption, but this is entirely his framework, and it's worked amazingly to keep track of all my new habits. So, all you'll need is a hardcover A5 square
Speaker A
grid notebook. It's very important that it is a square grid notebook, as you'll see why. This is what it'll look like after you've filled out the entire month. But now I'll walk you through how to make this from scratch. So start off
Speaker A
by titling the top left page 75 Holistic, or it can just be whatever you want, like the month and the year. After that, you can write day 1 through 30. And I like to start from the bottom of the page
Speaker A
starting to number the boxes upwards from 30 all the way to one so that you know exactly how much space you have at the bottom. And then you can just go ahead and write memorable moments right above that one. This is where you'll
Speaker A
just capture a few memorable moments of the day in that one line. After that, we're going to have the same starting point on the right page. And we're just going to draw a straight line down 30 boxes. And this is where the habits go.
Speaker A
So, however many habits you want to track, in my case, 10, you draw 10 boxes down. And you can fill in the habits on the right side of that line. Whichever habits you want to track, even better if
Speaker A
you track the official 75 Holistic habits. It's coming along nicely. After that, we're going to draw the graph. We start from the top and draw 10 boxes, as you see. And then draw a line down as well. 30 boxes for 30 days. Go ahead and
Speaker A
put little checks on each box and label that 1 through 10. This is going to be our graph. And so how the daily capture process works, write those memorable moments on the left page and then go down the habit list and just simply
Speaker A
check what you did or didn't do that day. Then you can total up the number of habits that you did that day and graph it. This graph is purely for fun. It's just super satisfying and very cool to
Speaker A
see a visual representation of your habits over the 30 days. At the bottom of this graph, I like to put my score out of 300 to see the percentage of the time that I stuck to my habits. And as
Speaker A
you plot points every day, you'll be able to draw a super fun graph at the end of it. Very, very fun to just connect the dots at the end of the month. And you've just made this super cool looking habit tracker to stay
Speaker A
dialed on your goals and align your current habits with those of your ideal.
