Tracking has always been people’s problem. People find it difficult to track what they’re doing because what this means is that you have to put more energy and more effort into things you are doing that you’re trying to track. Over the years tracking has been a burden to most people, some people even try to track but at the end of the day, they can’t keep up, they do it for a few days and stop later. It is easy for you to say you want to track but the work begins when you are forced to put in the work week in and week out nonstop. Just like every other aspect of life tracking is very good, It gives you all the data you need and lets you know when you’re not doing enough or when you’re doing too much.
It is easy for anybody to say they want to stick to a habit or they want to do something without tracking for this can delay our result. Sometimes without tracking you don’t know when you’re not doing enough and also when you need to reduce your effort so that you won’t get tired. When you track, It is very useful for the habit you are trying to create because it helps with the three important parts of your habit, which are to make it attractive, make it satisfying, and make it obvious, with the help of tracking all these will be would be easy to achieve.
Satisfying, obvious, and attractive
The first thing tracking helps you to do is to make your habit obvious, and this is a very important aspect in building a good habit because this helps you to want to do more. It gives a constant reminder of when you are lagging behind and also when you are doing well. Tracking makes it obvious it makes you aware because the evidence is in front of you and this can help in building habit. Another thing is making it attractive. When we track our habits, it makes it very attractive because it lets us know every game we are making, and those gains are the reward for us that motivates us to do more just like i said in my previous post we need those little wins to remain focused.
The last part is making it satisfying, when we track our habits it gives us the information that we need on each progress we make and every little win and this should give us the instant gratification that the human brain craves, This brings about satisfying feelings and makes the habit more desirable. As I said, tracking can be a burden and most people struggle with it, but we can automate our tracking and this relieves so much pressure on us or you can do it in such a way that you create a plan for yourself that is easy for you to get the data that you need to track your habit. This way you have all the information you need about your habits and this helps you to remain on track.
Tracking
Tracking is very useful and it can make a major difference in building a habit. It is easy for you to start a habit but without tracking can be very difficult to get the desired result, tracking gives you all the components that you need to be successful and we don’t have to make this hard on ourselves. We can always automate our tracking and find a way to get information That makes it easy for us to track.
Thanks for your time.
