ABOUT THE HABIT TRACKER EXCEL TEMPLATE

This template was developed to provide a clear visual representation of habit-building progress through multiple metrics. It combines bar graphs, progress circles, and color-coded tracking to give users immediate feedback on their habit development. Created for individuals who want data-driven insights into their daily routines and long-term progress.

WHAT IS HABIT TRACKING?

Habit tracking is a data-driven approach to building consistent behaviors through daily monitoring and progress visualization. This template implements tracking through:

• Daily completion tracking with automatic bar graph generation
• Individual goal setting for each habit
• Success rate calculations
• Momentum tracking for recent performance
• Normalized progress calculations

WHY IT MATTERS
