ABOUT THE WEEKLY HABIT TRACKER

This template was developed to help users track weekly habit completion against specific frequency goals. It features an intuitive dot-marking system, automated calculations, and visual progress indicators. Designed for individuals who want to establish consistent weekly routines with clear success metrics.

WHAT IS HABIT TRACKING?

Weekly habit tracking combines specific frequency goals with daily monitoring to build consistent behaviors. This template implements tracking through:

• Weekly frequency goals (1-7 times per week)
• Daily completion dot markers
• Automated percentage calculations
• Color-coded progress bars
• Success ratios (actual/goal completions)

WHY IT MATTERS

Many people struggle with habit formation because they lack clear weekly targets and can't easily visualize their progress. Traditional tracking methods often fail to show the relationship between intended frequency and actual performance.

This template solves these challenges by combining specific weekly targets with visual feedback. Users can instantly see both their percentage completion and actual vs. goal ratios (like 4/4 or 5/7), making it easier to stay motivated and adjust behaviors based on clear data.
