How to make a habit tracker in Notion
0:02
Hi guys, welcome back to another video and in this video, I'm going to be telling you how you can create a habit tracker in Notion
0:08
So having said that, let's just jump into the video. Now, as you can see over here, there is a habit tracker available
0:15
If you don't want to create one yourself, what you can do is you can go ahead and click on
0:20
the template section and use it. So if I just simply click on add a page and click on templates
0:25
and I will find the habit trafficker underneath life, you will see it right here
0:29
here you simply click on the habit tracker and you can go ahead and see all of the habits
0:36
right here and then you just simply click on kit template and after a couple of minutes the template
0:41
will be added into your workspace or your page and then you can go ahead and see all of these
0:46
different dates so as you can see as we go up it is march april may june july you can go ahead and
0:54
change the dates as well you simply click on add new and you can add today you can
0:59
add the date right here right here as you can see you can choose the date and boom there we go
1:05
after that you are good to go that's how you can do it and you can change these up as well you just
1:10
simply click over here click on rename and you can rename whatever it is that you want to add
1:16
over here and then it will be added to whatever so as you can see if you don't want to create
1:22
one yourself you can go ahead and use a template section but if you want to create one yourself
1:27
Let's go ahead and do that. For that, what you'll do is you'll create a empty page like so
1:33
As you can see, I've already created one right here. Then what you need to do is you simply click on the table view to switch it to table view
1:40
Alright, now as you can see, there is no data source. So what we'll do is we'll click on new database that will allow us to create a new database right here
1:48
Now what we'll do is over here we'll just add habit tracker or habits or whatever heading you want to call it
1:56
I'll just say habit tracker right here. And then we can also add an icon to it as well if you want to just simply click on the icon
2:04
and then choose the icon you want. Right, there's a bunch of different icons over here
2:08
You can go ahead and select one from here. It depends on you If you want to add a custom icon you can do that as well Just simply paste the link right here Let say into Google and we search for habit icon And we have these different icons
2:22
So let's say we select this one, right? We click on this icon. Now we like this, but if we simply drag it right here
2:28
we can see that it is a actual transparent icon. It doesn't have any background
2:33
So what we'll do is we'll right click over here and click on copy image address
2:38
And what we'll do is we'll go back to our habit tracker. And we'll just simply paste the link right here and click on submit
2:44
And now we will have our icon over here. As you can see, we can see it
2:48
It's pretty small, but it works. Now what we can do is now we can go ahead and fill out our database
2:54
So in the name section, since this is a word or is a text property
2:59
so I'm going to change it to a diary or daily notes type of thing
3:04
You can add that to your habit tracker if you want to track it, right
3:09
We'll just say daily notes or daily. reviews or whatever and we'll move it at the end but for now i think we'll keep it there and we can even
3:17
change the icon of it as well is there a sun icon there is we'll just put the sun right there
3:23
and we will move it right here at the end we don't want the tags that we'll delete that and we'll
3:28
create a new one and this one will be the checkbox and this one is going to be known as
3:34
workouts or meditation will say meditation and we'll put an icon for meditation right here
3:41
We press the Windows and period key. I don't know for Mac
3:46
I think it will be command plus period key. And then we just simply search for it
3:50
So we'll just say yoga, search for yoga. We found it right here
3:54
And we'll just simply select the icon. There we go. That looks nice
3:58
We'll put that over there. We'll create another one. This one will also be a checkbox and we'll call this one workout
4:06
Again, we'll put emoji. We'll say weightlifting or whatever. this one looks good so we'll select that I'll add another one this one will be
4:15
running or you can basically add any items you want right here that you want to
4:21
track it can be anything it can be workouts eating running journaling working
4:28
it can be anything you want you can add that right there and after that you are good to go So we add a running emoji right here like so There we go Now that that is done we have our checkboxes as well
4:41
Now, as we go along, we'll check them out. But we need to, let me just move that at the end right here
4:45
There we go. Now, this is a habit. Now we'll also add another one
4:50
This is going to be for the date created. We'll just say time created, created time
4:56
We'll just call it date. change it to whatever we want it depends on you like so so this is going to be the day created
5:03
all right so it's going to show us the month the date year time as well want to there you go
5:10
now i'm going to show you how you can make it automate so that every day it'll add a new
5:18
count right here so let me actually go ahead and rename this table to habits and we'll just say habits
5:24
right here like so and we'll also change the icon of it as well to something else i don't know
5:32
what would you say habits would be maybe a brain like that well we'll call yeah okay now what we'll do
5:40
is we'll click on this button right here and it'll say create templates for and we'll click on this
5:46
button right here and we'll just simply click on new template and over here we'll just say
5:51
daily journal and also add a icon right here we'll just add a book icon as well or custom icon if you want
6:00
but i'll just add this icon right here i think it looks good as you can see and then down below we just
6:07
simply add our daily notes or whatever we want to call so we'll just say daily notes or daily review
6:14
or review of the day or what did you think about today you know anything like that you know yeah so
6:21
daily review i'll just say right here we'll make it bold like so then down below we can add our
6:27
review and then we'll also add a to do list now to do list now to add a to do list what you can do is
6:33
you can simply click on the forward slash button and then find the to do list in this option right here
6:41
or what you can do is just simply add two square brackets actually and you will have a to do list option right here so again just simply click on forward slash button and just search for to do list you will have it right here we just say item
6:57
number one right here item two and item three there we go i think that looks good and then what we can
7:06
do is you can leave it at that you can add other stuff as well it depends on you whatever you want
7:12
I'll just say daily tasks as well, just in case if we want to add that
7:17
But as I said before, you can add whatever you want. You can add like a whole paragraph. You can add things that you're grateful for, things that you want to do, things that you did
7:25
everything and anything you want. And once you're done, you are good to go
7:29
And once you've done that, we'll just exit out of this window right here
7:33
Now we have it right here. Now what we'll do is we'll click on the button, click on the three dots, and click on repeat off
7:40
And we'll say every day. and now we just entering the time. Now currently it's 1130, so I'll just change it to 1132 or 1131 like that and click on save
7:55
And we'll see it right here when it's 1131. It should be right here any second now
8:02
There we go. 1132. Let's try it as again. All right. Now I changed it to 33
8:09
It should be coming here. any second now and there we go as you can see it just popped up I changed it to 33
8:16
because I kept missing the timeline but now it did at finally at 33 as you can see it
8:21
pops up so it works so now just simply go ahead and change the date and time to
8:27
whichever part you want and at that time it will add a new journal entry all right
8:33
so we can just simply go ahead and delete the previous ones we don't need them
8:37
because now we only have this one and it'll pop up every single day at
8:41
1133 p.m. right at the end of the day it'll give me a new it'll give me a new journal or a new form
